Thanks for everything...

Problem solved..
found a second hand MBP for 5000 kroners... 2 years old... 

I think keeping the boy in mac land, less viruses and games installed on his machine is gonna help ALOT!!

Why needing to know the "Minimum Spec PC"? Are you planning to by a
ten year old lappy? :-))  Just make sure its graphic memory isn't
shared with the system and any new dirt cheap win-lappy will work
great with live. The latest Live version (upgrade last week) supports
running the system at 64 bit and the good thing with that is that more
than 4 GB RAM can be used. So you might as well look for a cheap
corporate deal on a laptop that ships with 8 or more GB RAM.

I'm receiving mails every week from Dell and everyone else that offers
me a cheap deal through my company... must be the same in Norway. Look
for the deals labeld "powerful media laptop", "presentation media
workhorse" or similar, but try to avoid deals on laptops that come
with pre installed stuff that is targeting "home media center" users.
Oh, and Vista is a no-no ;-))

i7 does better in tests with typical music applications.
