Hi,
I have a MacBookPro as teh center of a Logic Studio. It works great .. but I'd like to get a bit more power into the RAM and processing side as I am shifting toward software synthesis.
I am looking at a couple of 4 or 8-core Mac Pro's on the second hand market here in Spain.
When I take a look at a machine some wants to sell, to check it out .... as a system check I can of course look at the system info details on OSX.
I am also planning to run some core-heavy tasks to check all the cores work and that the RAM is good.
Anything else I should be looking out for? I have never bought second hand computer equipment before... but the recession is making me go underground for my toys
Thanks,
