So it's finally happened...I've raised enough money to buy a new 20" iMac. My dilemma now resides in the debate on whether or not to go for the new intel core duo version, or keep it safe and go for the G5 model.
I'm not running anything crazy. I run Live 5 as my host, and Absynth 3, Battery 2, Kontakt 2, and Reaktor 5 as my instrument plugs.
Live 5.2 will be compatible for the intel macs, and will be out sometime in february.
Help me decide! i'm going nuts over here!

Sack em both off and go for an Rm Nimbus 186
Fantastic bit of kit....
On a serious note, i wouldnt go for either personally, id get a pc.
However, if you have to have a mac, id probably stick with the G5 version for now until the new chips have got more support and proove thier worth.
