I would say no on that. If you have it running 9.2 and stable don't mess 
with 
it. I have heard that you need a different processing configuration for OS 
X 
than the old G3 has. Just anecdotal, but in any case, much mac music 
software 
seems to be still in pre-X mode.

a

Cuebase/Logic ($$) setup etc? >>>

There is Cubasis which is around $79 now I think, although it seems they 
are 
either discontinuing it or not making an upgrade to OS X. There is also a 
version of Logic in the $99 range. Still, you will need to contact the 
psp42 
makers (webpage?) and see what's compatible. These are basically Lite 
versions of 
the software that cannot handle some vst thingies.
hope that helps
