>Richard,
I've been running PARIS on a dual 1GHz G4 Quicksilver for a few years now,
and it works great. As long as you can load and boot from a separate install
of OS 9 you should be fine. I also use this same machine in OS X to run
Digital Performer 4.6 along with Mach Five, Drumagog, dfh Superior, a UAD-1
card, Sample Tank 2, Kontact, many other AU plug ins, etc. and it also works
fine. Obviously, a G5 would allow me more tracks and plug ins, but the G4
gets the job done with few work arounds. Anyway, just though you should know
PARIS will run fine a G4 if you don't want to mess with going to a PC.

>I'm no computer guru, but at least on my mobo its possible to disable the
onboard sound and use a card. I use a Soundblaster card, though I've thought
of upgrading. If they're still selling them, I've read good things about
the M-Audio Audiophile card )(99 bucks). For the same price Emu's got a
24/96 card -0404. But, if I may, you might consider mastering in Paris.
You can either copy your 2 tracks to a new submix within the project you're
working on, or create a new project and import the 2 track files. This way
you get the benefit of Paris' sound, Eq's and plug in's, plus any DX or VST
stuff you've got.

tracks in Paris into record ready to monitor.

If I had to put a number to it I would say 5-10%.
