[QUOTE="Audio.Trench, post: 1090882, member: 13155"] Thanks for the input pigoo! Form-factor/size isn't an issue, and to be honest, the only thing I use WiFi for are laptops.. Everything else gets hardwired. Expandability is a good plus, especially if I could get an upgraded dual-cpu card.. I remember I was going to upgrade my old Sawtooth a few years ago and they weren't cheap. Having a dedicated video card would also be a plus, mostly because I'm still addicted to Warcraft 3 after all these years, and I know the stock card in it will handle it, because an Mirage S3 gfx chipset can handle it. A new video card isn't necessary, but more RAM is a must, of course. But yeah, it's going to be used strictly for Garageband with an M-Audio Firewire Solo interface, and for my music library. Does any one know if GB takes advantage of 2 cpu's? I've been trying to find answers on Apple's website/Googling, but to no avail, of course. Haha.. Also, will any MDD cpu card work? I found a dual 1.25ghz on eBay for $70 USD from a MDD.. Or are they picky and model-specific? And do I have to replace the heatsink/fan if I buy a new cpu, or can I use the existing one? Anyways, thanks again for the input! [/QUOTE]
