G4/350 with at least 128 Mb RAM. But i wonder how you manage to buy a computer AND a working soundcard for $1700 + your old 7600??? One idea i have is that you buy a IDE/U-DMA controller (1 PCI slot), one or two 18Gig U-DMA drives, a 400Mhz G3 accelerator card, and some more RAM. For backing up tracks you might buy a KORG 1212 card which is not expensive nowadays. It depends on how you can sell your "old" machine. -- Klaus Lotz e-mail: klo@... http://www.musicshop.de
