[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1207091, member: 184879"] they will both be great for PT and Logic. a dual core can handle it, but the grunt of a quad core would be more zippy. The apps dont take full advantage of multi core (i.e more than dual) processors yet, but you will be future proofing your system for years by buying a better processor now. also you aren't sharing your CPU with the systems, and it will perform far better than a dual core. faster hard drives are useful for pro tools and logic, because of the amount of audio you are pulling off it. i would look into SSDs, not only are they faster, but more reliable. bear in mind logic is 32/64bit, and PT is only 32, and as such can only address 4GB of RAM. an Mbox 3 mini starts at about £200, but PT 9 is native, so you could buy a third party interface for it, but the standalone version is expensive. the standard Mbox is about £400.
