I have an Mbox with PTLE 6.4. Will probably upgrade to a firewire interface in next 2 years (firepod, digi, m-audio, ??).

I can get a really good deal on the G5 (1.8 GHz, 512 ram, 20" monitor, 3 yr. ext. warranty). So here are my questions:

First off - is it easy to upgrade the ram on an iMac yourself?
Should I get the core duo if I plan to upgrade interfaces?
Is garage band any good :D ?

Any help is appreciated.
 
Go dual core. Unless you are dealing with a dual/quad G5 power pc, I think all of the new dual core mactels are going to be better than getting and older G5. You would need more than 512Mb of ram too.

Garageband is a fun program for creating fast jams to solo over, or mess around with. I have used it to add strings to songs and it sounded pretty decent. However, I would not count on using that as your main audio program
