So what’s the best Mac out there that will run Paris (and System 9 not classic
of course)? I think people here have reported it to be one of the 867 Mhz
machines (not sure which one exactly), but lowendmac.com seems to indicate
that 9.2 will run on up to a 1.25G machine, though it doesn’t specify whether
it’s classic or not.

Also, does it make sense to consider a fast-bus G4 coupled with an accelerator
(say, Sonnet)?

Thanks,
Dale

Get the single 1.25GHz.

Yes, the 1.25GHz running OS9.2 works good.

I'm using a G4 with OWC 1.5ghz processor. it works great
and rendering tracks and overviews is noticeable faster
than my original 800mhz processor.
cheers,
Mike

I'm using a dual 1GHz G4 Quicksilver, but PARIS doesn't take advantage of
the extra processor. Be careful of the very last OS 9 G4, I think it was a
1.25 GHz as someone here had major problems using it with PARIS (Rick?). I
think they early 1.25GHz were ok.

I've been using the last dual processor 1.25 gHz G4 to run OS 9 for a few
years now w/ no problems. It's nice having the dual processors when I use
OS X apps like DP, PT or Peak.

I'm not sure exactly which model it was, but I remember Rick posting about
an incompatibility problem with the G4 he bought and PARIS. I don't think he
could ever get PARIS to run on that machine.

Hi Dale,

A good friend of mine has his G4 on eBay starting today. He's meticulous
about his equipment so you can be assured that it's in excellent condition.
Here's the link if you're interested:

Have a great day!

Hey Tony! It was the 2003 G4 Firewire 800 1.42 GHz machine that was bad.
How ever a lot of people still run that machine in studios with no problems.
As they say YMMV!

I'm not saying it's a bad machine, just maybe not so good with PARIS.

That was the only G4 tower that would not run Mac OS 9.
