Sold my MBP, using an old iMac G5 17" w/1.5GB in the mean time. In Logic Express 9 some of the presets clock out the CPU, just one instance, and only Twin. G4/G5 is the minimum, I close all other apps, able to play back Theivery Corp-Numbers demo with no issues, any tweaks I can do?

sounds like a ram problem.. are these particular presets chords or sequences? if so, lowering the polyphony could help.

This model max's at 2GB of RAM. I switched polyphony to 16 voices, helps, still a slight click, the patch is "Overtone Motion 02 bM" I also tried in Reaper which I've been told is easier on CPU, same results. I guess I have to face the limitations of the machine. I plan to add another gig stick, adding 512MB of RAM. I just need a decent box to sketch on till I can afford a new iMac.

I think it's just that this G5 isn't powerful enough for some of Twin 2's presets. Adding more RAM most likely won't help.

Cheers,
