[QUOTE="mikerev, post: 984911, member: 125319"] So my faithful old MBP gave up on me last week. So I'm lookig for a new mac. I was looking at the new iMacs but I'm unsure whether to go for the core duo, i5 or i7. I know all the advantages of the i7 over the core duo but I think the 27" screen is way too big. I'm running pro tools le 8 with a 003 and a focusrite octopre connected via ADAT. I mainly record acoustic guitar, vocals and some four mic drum setups. Do I need the i7? Would I be compromising too much if I went core duo? I'll definitely be going for 8 gig RAM. There's a 700euro (ish) difference between the 3.33 ghz core duo and the i7. Advice please??? Thanks in advance Michael [/QUOTE]
