Re: Mac G4 midi software question

I'm pretty sure that DP3 is optimized for Dual Processors and I think 
Logic is as well.  It's more an issue of Portability of the machine 
itself, I think.  from the motu website:

"Digital Performer supports multiple processors so if you have a dual 
processor CPU, you get nearly twice as much processing power as a single 
processor. Digital Performer's multiple processor engine is fully 
compatible with all MOTU Audio System plug-ins - even those from third 
party vendors."

I heard that the 667 Mhz and 800 Mhz TiBooks had issues with performance 
of audio apps because of cache issues.  The cache was optimized for video 
applications (throughput vs latency).  This meant that if you had a 
looping MAX patch or reverb or something that your performace was about 
equal to the 400-500 Mhz TiBook.  Anyone done any tests with the newest 
TiBooks?  Also, how bad is a high-end iBook vs a medium-end TiBook for 
Max/Reaktor/DP3/Live?  I've been thinking of getting an iBook for my live 
and traveling sound use, but should I just save up for a TiBook 
replacement for my TiBook 400 Mhz that is on loan?
