[QUOTE="evilgenious, post: 817490, member: 91276"] Thanks for the reply Boyz....Well i can tell you that i consider being a professional, that is not to say that i always create professional stuff! But i have spent a a nice bit of cash on my outborad gear and i guess this is the final kit that puts it all in place. The biggest problem i have is the Guy at the Apple store is very highly recommended as knowing his stuff, and he is also a producer! It si very interesting to hear what he has to say about the Imac VS Mac Pro story below are some of the things he has said and showed me......this is how he convinced me that all i need is an Imac So He loaded Logic on the Mac Pro and showed the CPU usage on about 30 Tracks going at it right all loaded with effects, and pointed at the CPU usage, which was running at about 3% meaning their was room for 97% more...what he then pointed at was the ram, he said this is the only thing that really is going to matter in the end of the day...and the more of this the better! He explained how their is a Threshold and Logic is never really going to ever ever cross that regardless of how hard you use it, again the only thing that matters is Ram.....He then did the exact same thing on an IMac, where the CPU was at about 8% going! He then goes on to tell me that i can easy with a breez run 30 to 40 tracks in an Imac AU plugins and effects with no drama.... What i later get told is essentially the MacPro will last longer then the IMac in time, but said that by the time new applications come out in 3 years the Mac Pro will still struggle as new applications takes advantage of new technology so in the end of the day i have wasted my money on Computer i am never really going to keep for 5 years anyways.....so he said spend less and replace the IMac in 3 years time.... **** this guy made alot of sence as the other Apple guys had no idea and tried to sell me The new Mac Pro, and worse yet they had no good or reason or good explain why! They just said cause it is Pro, well big ****, that means nothing! I liked what i learnt and regardless i am going to buy either one, but **** i still sit confused.................Thanks [/QUOTE]
