G4 867Mhz 15 Inch 512Mbyte RAM, DP 4.61 & Tiger 10.4.4

5400 40 Gig Drive

MOTU 896

No problem recording 8 48Khz signals in
No problem outputting many audio tracks (10+ is the most I used)

Using any of the plugins starts to bring it down fast.

Powerbook 15" 1.5mHz 800ram Tiger 4.6 896HD

Do a lot of on location 88.2 24bit recording, all mic pre's going. No problems. Go higher with 4 inputs from lightpipe, things get dicey fast. This is the case no matter how I set up the clock - Word in or out, light pipe in etc. I think it has more to do with my RAM than the setup. Going to 1.5 gig RAM soon as I need 16 tracks at 24bit 88.2

What are you doing with this info?

I could use + plugins, cpu was 65-70% with no playback overloads.

Didn't test VI yet, but sometimes I use DrumkitFromHell and 10 Audiotracks with no problem. (I prefer using Cubase for VI and bounce to audio)
