(also see Kim's post). Same CPU, same audio card, same hard drive, same driver versions, running the same software etc, etc... I'm just back from four days at a Swedish electronic music festival and during ten to twenty performances a day we saw only Apple Powerbooks there, except for two or three guys that used Sony Vaio's. When I was using PC systems for audio I was constantly comparing and discussing different system set-ups (and there are hundreds of possibilities) with the Logic beta group. We found that not many PC combinations gave the best performance (also counting stability and reliability) and it was a fact that almost non of the "ready made" systems you buy at a store is good for audio. You really have to get into it and order a dedicated audio PC system. That was three years ago and I'm now using Mac's (since they launched the G5 technology and reduced prices by 20 percent, here in Sweden) so I'm afraid my "PC knowledge" may now be obsolete ;-) All the best Per Boysen --- http://www.boysen.se http://www.looproom.com
