Btw, it holds a radeon 9000 pro. We have a G5 in the office, I really should check how Logic behaves on that, it's probably the G4 processor that can't handle Panther well enough. And the UAD gave me pops when only using the dreamverb. I'm sure I'll jump on board one day, but not right now...OS9 still rocks:) O.
