Purchasing new computer, please advise

[Panopticon]

Well, as a follow-up, I did, in fact get the new Dual 2Ghz Mac G5. Lemme tell you, this thing is rock solid. Paid 2800 US for it (ouch), but it works great. Right now running Audiodesk 2 and Absynth, Motu 828mkII handling the sound duties, everything is amazingly stable (Absynth and Cubase SX were never very stable under Windows for me, I had constant problems). Going to get Digital Performer 4 next week.

As far as computing power, it's great. Yesterday I had 100 audio tracks playing simultaneously, with 5 effects on each track. Computer never got tired, I just got tired of adding tracks. Playback is smooth and glitch-free, even with that much going on.

This is my first experience w/Mac, and if things keep going this well, I'll never look at another PC again.
