Logic 8 on a Dual 867 G4

Does anyone have any new data on running Logic 8 on G4?
My Dual 867 has maxed-out Ram and 2 120GB Hard drives.
I'm presently Running Logic 7.2.3 with OS 10.4.10 at with very few problems. I have the Logic Studio upgrade as of this posting.
I also am working on a project, are there any problems moving over?
Thyanks!

I can't say for certain, but I've lurked around these forums for awhile, and I can say it seems you will be very unhappy with Logic 8. Why chance it? If 7 is working for you, stick with it, and use the $500 you would have spent on Logic Studio towards a newer computer that will let Logic be happy on it.
Merry Christmas!

  • Leopard Install on Quicksilver Dual 867 G4

    I have just completed installing Leopard on my Quicksilver Dual 867 G4 and if an one else wants to try look out for the following:
    [1] If you have a isub this causes chaos and needs to be
    unplugged unfortunately (Check other posts for details)
    Hopefully this may be cured in an update as even though the
    the apple pro speakers are good I miss the isub
    [2] Spotlight takes ages to index the drive and you are better off leaving the
    machine alone while it indexes the drive due to the high CPU useage
    (I had the activity monitor running to keep an eye on things during the
    indexing)
    [3] Time Machine worked fine on an internal 200Gb drive although again its best
    to leave it over night
    [4] My Iomega Rev 35 usb drive is read only. Hopefully Iomega will release an
    updated driver at some point.
    Apart from the above everything is running fine and works very well even though
    the Dual 867 is 5 years old. No speed issues which is not bad for a machine which meets the minimum spec!

  • Dual 867 encore MDX G4 Duet Updgrade. Should I !!!!!!

    i have a G4 Dual 867.if i upgrade the processor to sonnettechs new encore MDX G4 Duet dual 1.25, will that allow me to edit HDV material with final cut pro? In addition, if i upgrade to the fasted VGA card for PCI (motion rec) and install the dual 1.25 sonnettech processor, will I be able to edit HDV footage? Or is all of this a waste of time and I should just save for a G5 mac Pro ? if anyone out there has made this processor upgrade can you post the pros and cons ?

    Hello! The short answer is that if you're seriously into video get a Mac Pro. The faster SATA drives, faster memory, faster system bus; in short the everything is faster in the Mac Pro. As I recall the specs you can put 16gb of ram into that powerhouse and coupled with duo core processing.....oh I can only wish! HEAVENTom

  • Beefing Up a Dual 867 Mirrored Door

    Hi Gang
    I just picked up a used G4 Dual 867 Mirrored Door. I'd like to have it around as a backup for my G5 Single 1.8 - I'm about to get a new Hard Drive for it. Was wondering about the Seagate 500 Gig below. After I successfully install the new drive, was wondering if I should add some other features?
    Think it might make sense to get the OWC Processor upgrade? With this upgrade, even though it might be faster than my old G5 single, it still can't go above 2 Gigs of RAM.

    Hey Kenichi - ole wise one
    Restraint is a great idea especially when your're broke. I really didn't want that processor upgrade when I saw how much it was. I will however pick up that Seagate 500 Gig HD, and maybe I'll spring for the Radeon 9200. That's a reasonable upgrade for still under $200.
    I also have a G4 733 Quicksilver with this upgraded processor;
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEG42M1200/
    It works great, but I think the Dual 867 I just picked up may still beat out the Quicksilver even in it's current configuration?
    I never cared for the iMac design, (with it's hardware built into the screen housing)
    Thanx

  • Selling dual 867 CPU- what's a fair price?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm looking to put my dual 867 CPU w/heatsink for sale on eBay- what do you think is a fair price? I've had NO issues with it. I just upgraded to a dual 1.6 that's why I'm selling it. Thanks!

    A recent G4 Dual 867MHz CPU Board sold for $71.00 plus $13.05 shipping. Another one sold for $76.00 plus $13.05, and another sold for $69.99 plus $14.00 shipping. But one dual 867MHz G4 was listed for $89.99 plus $14.00 did not get any bids. But next week these could sell for higher or less. eBay is kinda tough to pin down values but If it were mine I would put a $75 reserve on it at least.

  • Dual 867 vs. Single 1gig MDD

    I have both systems and I'm wondering which would be a better to run Pro Tools 6.4?
    The obvious says the dual to me, but with the difference bus speed, who really knows without testing.
    The single seems faster when booted up, but again????
    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these systems in audio production.

    I have a dual 867 and I plan on using it for some serious audio projects once I get the right software. Now I'm using an old self-made PC, AMD 1333Mhz. I'm still using Win2K and that means I can't use any of the latest softwares with it (I'm cheap and Win2K was the last Windows OS that lets you use it on multiple computers without problems). I still produce a really decent sound and have yet to utilize even this older software to it's potential, I'm still learning new tricks (Sonar 3, Sound Forge 7, Mixtreme and more). The Mixtreme will work on the Mac too. My cousin is still using his Quicksilver Mac and makes some amazing music using DP4, Waves and more (he has ridiculous outboard gear, Radar,Studer 16 Track,large format console). I was hoping you've tried out both the MDD's now and could post some of your findings. I think the only difference is you'll be stuck using older software (they keep upping the requirements) and just have to wait a little longer for files to process. From what I've read the Single 1Ghz will be faster but That's only what I've read. Looks like you the man now!

  • Putting DUAL 867 in Quicksilver

    Hey everyone, first time poster!
    I recently upgraded my MDD dual 867 CPU and wanted to know if I could put that in a Quicksilver PPC? The Quicksilver is currently a single 867.
    Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    OK, thanks for the sound reasoning

  • Dual 867 MDD won't sleep after memory upgrade

    Since yesterday my PowerMac G4 Dual 867 MDD has become insomniac. What changed since yesterday is that I installed an additional 512MB of RAM. So far as memory is concerned, there's the factory-installed 512 Infineon module; a second 512MB Kingston module (installed about a couple of years ago, and has been working fine ever since); and a third 512MB Kingston module (the one I installed yesterday) for a total of 1.5GB.
    I am aware that sleeping issues can arise for all sorts of reasons (inc. USB peripherals) but it is pretty obvious that in my case the problem is caused by the memory upgrade.
    The symptoms: Once I click Sleep on the Apple menu, I can hear the sound of the hard disks spinning down, but the rest of the box remains fully powered. The screen freezes and the computer has to be manually switched off, as the mouse cursor disappears from the screen and the keyboard becomes completely unresponsive.
    So far I have tried the following: I have reset the PRAM (no luck there), and have tried switching memory modules to different sockets (basically, the single remaining free slot). I apologise in advance if that second troubleshooting routine might portray me as an ignoramus; I have a good understanding of things but cannot claim to be an expert.
    I am a extremely frequent user of the sleep mode, and this issue has taken away from me all the pleasure that comes with a coveted (and long overdue) memory upgrade. I would deeply appreciate any help in resolving this.
    Many thanks

  • How do I transfer my Mail from a Dual 867 to my new Mac Mini

    I recently purchased a Mac Mini to replace my slow but still usable dual 867. The only thing I really want from the old machine is the mail. What is the best way of transferring the mail over?

    Try:

  • DUAL 867 MDD AND HDV

    Just wondering if anyone knew if my computer can handle HDV footage from a Canon XH-A1...Footage (HDV 1080p24) was able to be captured and brought in from camera itself (via firewire... ) but when i dropped clip into timeline video lagged a second behind audio...sequence settings are all correct..( no render bars at all ) also...clip plays perfect in quicktime player...captured footage onto external GRAID2 drive via firewie 800....ram is maxed out...i was always under the impression that i wasn't even able to capture HD footage at all according to FCP 5.1.4 specs ..to my surprise it did...any help from you people out there would be wonderful...

    that was my next question to you..and again much thanx...i was always confused by the technical side...so my dual 867 is like having a 1.73 single processor...??? is that really correct...??? i was always looking for an answer to that....if so..KOOL...didn't realize that...FYI...i have exported HDV clip to DVCPRO HD in qucktime conversion and clip plays in sync now...still get drop frames from time to time..again much thanx for your quick responses

  • Powermac G4 MDD Dual 867 vs Powermac G4 Single 1.0 FW800

    Hello, I have been a mac user since 2004. I had an iMac G5 1.8 that crashed and I want a replacement for the next year until I can save for a Mac Pro. I saw a great deal for the above Powermac G4's: MDD Dual 867 for $200 and Single 1.0 FW800 for $150. My friend was going to give me his 23" Apple Cinema HD ADC. I will be doing email, internet, about 90% of the time, and sometimes use Photoshop and Lightroom the rest of the time. I will max out the RAM at 2.0Gb, upgrade the Video to 9700 or 9800, and install 10.5 Leopard. What do you guys think?

    C24, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    A great price for both. Several considerations. Here's a link to the specs on both. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/index-powermac-g4.html
    1. Are you currently using OS 9 in classic mode. If so, you can use either Mac in Tiger. (same as your G5).
    2. Do you want to be able to boot into OS 9. Only the MDD will do this.
    3. The MDD Dual might be slightly faster if you use multiple applications at the same time and if you do extensive graphics/audio.
    Unless you want to boot into OS 9, I would choose the 1GHz. Note: If you upgrade to Leopard, you won't be able to use classic mode.
     Cheers, Tom

  • No audio device found=no sound on OS9 (MDD Dual 867)

    Hello,
    i have a serious problem when running OS 9.2.2 on my dual 867 MDD. There is no sound ! In the "sound panel" i have a message like this ( i translate from french ):" Can't use audio device because it seems that another application use it". That is for "in" and "out" sound. When i try to play a movie in QuickTime, i have a message like this ( approximatly ): " you maybe can't hear the audio of the file because there is no audio device". I don't understand because there is no application running. I try everything: disable all preferences, disable all non-apple extensions, reset the pram, reinstall a clean system on other partition. Always the same problem. It's like that computer don't see an audio device - i mean the internal audio of the mac ! On OS 9.2.2 i'm running QuickTime 6.0.3 of course. When i boot on Mac Os X 10.3.9 and -for example- running "Classic QuickTime" i have sound.
    So i don't understand. Someone can help me ? Thanks !
    ( sorry for my english
    elzef

    To make sure we understand:
    when you boot your system direct to OS9, you have no sound.
    When you boot to OS X, you have sound.
    When you run classic from inside of OSX, you have sound.
    Do you have anything like an iMic, 3rd party sound card (there are a couple of complanies that make surround sound cards for Mac), USB speakers, USB headset, or MIDI device connected?

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb on Dual 867?

    I have been reading up on doing an upgrade to my system. I was looking at a Mac version of the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb video card for it.
    For this particular machine if I find a Mac version of the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, it will fit into the board won't it?
    Also, I currently have the 64 mb ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. I should see a definite performance boost shouldn't I?
    I am not a power user, and have 1 gig of memory on here, but since installing Ilife '08, it seems slower than it used to. I would like to move up to 10.5 and want to do what I can to make it run decently.

    I'm using this card in my MDD Dual 867. First installed it with Panther and saw an improvement in some things. Nothing stellar for day to day work but it was noticeable. I then downloaded some game demos I was not able to play before (frame rates and all) and suddenly I could play them. It's worth it, especially when moving up to Tiger or Leopard with all that Core technology.

  • Dual 867 and leopard

    After completing an upgrade installation of Leopard
    my g4 dual 867 will not shut down.
    it says it will shut down but just hangs with a blue screen and the dial that turns for ever.

    Every installation always has people here with issues. The question is can you prepare yourself following my FAQ*?
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    If you are prepared, yes, you can upgrade without issue.

  • Screen dims unexpectedly on Dual 867 MDD

    So, I have no idea what's causing this, but I just got a Dual 867 MDD today through Craigslist here in San Francisco...
    Everything seems to be working great - boots up fine, apps launch fine, etc, etc. I'm running OS X 10.4.5 with 512MB of RAM. Using a DVI-to-VGA adapter, I have the computer hooked up to an OLD NEC MultiSync XV17+ (it's from 1996, I think - still works). The picture is phenomenal on this monitor until I increase the size of any given window to a certain point. Once the window fills more than 25% of the screen, everything gets a little bit dull and decidedly less sharp in appearance. I find this very odd because it's quite dynamic - very real-time. Grab the bottom right corner of a window (any application, including the Finder), and start dragging to make it smaller or bigger and you can see the quality of the picture change.
    The monitor was free, and I hope that's the cause of the problem.

    Changing the resolution doesn't help. I haven't tried changing the color depth (thousands vs millions).
    I also have not tried removing the SCSI card that was already in this computer just in case it might be causing some kind of problem.
    Again, everything else works fine. Internet access, video playback, hard drive read and writes, applications, etc. But when windows are too big, the picture quality is pretty much unacceptable.<br>
    PowerMac G4 (MDD) Dual 867 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   512MB, 60GB, AirPort (b), SCSI card, Radeon 9000 (64MB)

    By the way, the replacement 17" loaner I have right now (I'm most likely getting the 21" later tonight) has a problem I've seen before. The screen is also greenish and blurry - sign of a shot monitor, right? Well, then why is that when I play World of Warcraft in full screen, the picture quality DRASTICALLY improves? Also, if I then back out into windowed mode, the picture is better than when WoW is not running.
    Unlike the previous monitor, this bad 17" doesn't magically dim when large windows are open, nor does it magically improve in the presence of things like photos loaded up on the screen.
    Ah, someday, when I'm not broke from buying computer parts, I'll just be able to afford a true DVI display. : )
    (Also, I got a pair of used Apple Pro Speakers, and they're great!)
