But I can't remember. Which MDD G4 is the last one to boot OS9?

I'm going to upgrade my studio Mac and put my Sawtooth 450 into my
mobile recording rack.

Also, those of you running one, what's the most amount of
tracks/native efx you've used?

Thanks.

1.25 gHz (mine is dual processor, but it doesn't help in OS 9) with Firewire
400. The next generation had Firewire 800. They're not dual-boot machines.

Most tracks/native FX? Today I was running 46 tracks with a handful of UAD-1
plugins (couple of Cambridge EQs, couple of Pultec-Pros, couple of LA-2a
comps) and a few Waves EQs, comps and flangers. I ran a stress test once
w/ 64 audio tracks playing, but I don't think I ran any plugins on it.

Hi Paul,
I recently bought a MDD g4 Single processor 1.25 ghz - it's the last model
to boot OS 9.2.2 - and it's quieter than the dual processor models (which
do nothing for Paris anyhow). I don't use lots of tracks but I have 3 EDS
cards installed and lots of wave plugs, 1.5 gigs of ram in it and 3 drives
- the factory installed one and two more 250 gig seagates and I haven't had
one issue in Paris at all - it's a good machine - got it on ebay for $700
with a 17" studio apple flatscreen.
