The only one that really seems to choke it is the Reflection Band. That is the most complex arrangement and my PB chokes about halfway through. The sound starts to cut in and out and then gets really...

Garageband chokes on my PB 12" G4 1Ghz 768 RAM. It does okay with simple tracks. Complex multitrack arrangements result in a "your hard drive is too slow" warning. It'll probably run great on...

I just bought my Powerbook and I am not really thrilled about forking over $50 for ilife 4. Let's hope they come up with some kind of upgrade plan for recent buyers.

Try Burnz at www.thinkertons.com. It simply works and it's only $12.50

I bought it from BestBuy.com. I ordered it on Nov 30 and it came today.
I'll let everyone know how the upgrade goes when I do it. I just finished the update to 10.2.8. It went pretty smooth.
