iMac G3 500

Hi all.

Does iMac G3 Indigo (500 mhz + 512 mb RAM) has enough processor power to work as:

• MIDI sequencer
• MIDI sequencer & audio recording using rack MOTU 828 interface

using Cubase 5.0 VST 32 software

I asking because I currently have this computer, but also can get almost free PM G4 MDD 867.

Power Mac is faster, but iMac looking so cute...

Sounds to me like you should have the iMac AND MDD!!

I once produced an entire 12-track CD on a G3 500MHz desktop. So, yes it's possible.
It's also possible to drive from Los Angeles to New York City in a 1960's VW bug.
2000 miles and a couple of breakdowns later however, that VW isn't so "cute" anymore.
Would you do that if you could choose a BMW instead?
See my point?

Ok. And what about G4 eMac?
