Re: Ableton's Live on an iBook 500
Live is a relatively low cpu use program - you shouldn't have any problem
running it on a 500 mhz machine. You'll probably won't have much power for
VST effects of the large variety (PSP94 etc), but for straight audio,
you'll
be fine - especially if you use the computer keyboard for control, rather
than a midi controller - triggering from the keyboard gives you no latency.
