Yeah, the one I would be buying is 400 mhz. I'm thinking I should go with the cutting edge and get the G5. I will probably end up using it a lot more than I am thinking. Sure, it is more money, but I do want the best. Thanks guys!

Bought a shiny new G5 a couple months ago. I used to work with a G4/400 for almost 4 years, with OS9, DP3, Motu 2408, UAD1 and some Waves plugs. Mixed a heavy metal record with more than 50 tracks per song (24/44.1). No problems. You can tweak OS9 as much as you like, disabling almost everything. I kept the G4 for location jobs. Recorded a live band few months ago with it, 23 tracks at 24/44.1, no problems at all. Very very reliable. It's just a matter of make it happen. When you bounce to disk something it is kinda slow compared to a G5, but asided that there are no big problems. If you intend to work with a "classic" rock setup (drums, bass, guitars, some overdubs, few plugs), there is nothing a G4 can't do.
Cheers.
