[QUOTE="Mac4Music, post: 269829, member: 21854"] I'm planning on using Digital Performer 4.5 and eventually 5.0 when I can get it. the most i will probably ever do on this machine is 8-10 tracks simultaneous via firewire. I want a good machine that is able to handle a decent amount of plug-in use. I'm just looking for a decently priced Mac that I can upgrade to be a fast reliable music based, no internet machine. At this point, I'm not thinking a new HD is that important as long as it has like 40gigs or so. The files are somewhat large, but basically the only things on this computer will be os 10.5 soon hopefully, and my recording and editing software. do you know which is more important for performance, RAM or Processing speed? Until now, I've never really been all that into computer stats and ****, but now that its important to my interests, I need and want to know. ok, thanks for the help guys and I'll check out that link!
