There must be some difference in machines, because I couldn't get a single 733 G4 with 1.5 GB RAM to run Logic Pro without an unworkable number of pops, clicks and chatters, especially when trying to run plugs. Chameleon wouldn't run at all- just froze. When Space Designer was merely selected, but no file actually running, the CPU meter was nearly maxxed out. I finally took a hint from George, and bought a 1.8 G5. I had a lot of expenses at the time, so I was budget conscious, so bought a refurb from the Apple online store. The machine was supposed to have only 256 MB of RAM in it, so I bought 2 GB from Memory Solutions, and when I got the machine, it had 1 GB in it, so I have 3 GB. And now everything runs fine; the CPU meter registers maybe 1/16, if that. To the poster considering a G4 cube: sounds like a nightmare to me. Based on my experience, I wouldn't even consider it. And something like Sculpture is likely to be even more demanding. James
