It looks well cheap, and way cool but...

Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
-600MHz G3 or faster required for GarageBand; G4 or G5 required for GarageBand software instruments
..........what would I be missing out on not having "GarageBand software instruments" ??

I'm assuming sampled guitars and suchlike, but would it mean no drum machine, for example ??

Thanks in advance.

All I needed to know.

Guess that's the reason why I rarely stray far away from the Web Developer forum.

No problem; I moved it there.

You wouldn't be missing the instruments ... you would just be missing processor speed for playing them back in real-time. My iBook G3 800MHz struggles with such playback of software instruments, but in GB 1.1, the process of converting them to 'real instruments' is well described - basically just taking them out into iTunes.
