There is currently mixed results with the intel macs, but in the long
term it'll get better. So an IntelMac is a decent bet in the long
term. A PowerPC mac will work now.

I'm thoroughly sick of pd's instability around MIDI and video on

using my nice new MIDI controller makes pd crash - which really

laptop. It doesn't, and I don't have the patience to make it.So I'm going to switch to a mac system, sooner rather than later I
think (giving me, among other things, a switching power supply that
doesn't make the entire audio rig buzz like an angry bumblebee
whenever I play a gig and forget to bring my DI's, plus the ability
to run Steim's LiSa, and the ability to pretend that I'm more
creative just because I own an Apple product...).So my question is: what does the combination of Jack and PD and an
external USB soundcard look like on a MacIntel? In the short term,
should I get a MacIntel or a PowerPC? How about the long term?thanks :-)
