I had an IBM Thinkpad (PIII 700 MHz, 640 MB ram) and it was totally stable with Albeton Live (Moebius wasn't available back then). I still use the same audio interfaces, an Echo Indigo i/o and a RME Multiface - both pci/PCMCIA based and recommendable. I use them on both Mac and PC machines. Today I'm running Moebius on a 2 GHz Centrino with GB ram (planning to upgrade it to 2 when I get rich) and that machine is also completely stable. > How stable are these programs? I would say they are fully stable. If the laptop crashes it's due to factors as computer hardware (bad ram, to little ram), lousy drivers, fragmented hard drive or a fat and sick register file from too many other applications installed.
