OT:macs for music, etc..

Ok, Im about to go aprox. 4 grand in the hole to buy the most kik-ass G3..

Before I do so, I would like some experienced persons to tell me a few
things..

*how often do they crash?

*how often to they crash when sequencing? (mainly, im concerned with
Vision, but others are welcome)

*how fast are they really when compared to a pentium2?

*how well do they run pc software under software emulation?

If I cant get any "oh my god" revelations, I prolly will just save my money
and buy a Yamaha qy70 or qy700 cuz the mac plus all the software is gonna
hurt me bad monetarily since I need to rebuy all my sequencer soft and
hardware.

Im steering clear of the imac until they figure out when they are coming
out with a usb midi port that I can actually buy.
