Any one have any experience with the XLR8 dual processor upgrade and logic. I recenctly was able to score some relatively cheap memory for my aging 7600 so now it's up to 480 megs of RAM. The high cost of memory for older Macs was one of the things making me thing of buying a new one. I am really tempted to get one of the XLR8 dual cards instead though. Anyone using one with logic? -- Dennis Gunn Mightyjohn@... check out MIGHTY JOHN HENRY's album "hot air head" info at http://www.twics.com/~mightyjo/home.html

Anyone using one with logic? Hi Dennis, I would recommend not to do this,because without the fast memory bus of the recent PowerMacs (which is 7 times faster than with 7xxx machines) this makes no sense. Theoretically you have much more cpu power, but there bottlenecks everywhere in those old systems. Also the price is allmost as high as a new 450MP, which you can get really cheap at this time since there are still some on stock. Maybe not what you wanted to hear, but I would take very much care with such an upgrade.... Also you will have problems to run OS X some day when the time has come to change - even if this migh be in a year or so. Best Ray
