[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1632997, member: 284358"] I have recorded quiet a bit of audio on the computer in my days.. IMHO, the CPU's in that system are overkill, which is a good thing. RAM speed wise is perfectly fine, not a huge difference in DDR2 to DDR3 for what your doing. However, I recommend seeing if you can bump that system up to 8GB. More RAM in your case is better then its over all speed. Last thing is Drive speed. RAM and Drive speed is most important in recording audio. This is likely why your MBP was giving you fits.. You want large FAST drives. I recommend getting the fastest 7200RPM or 10,000RPM drives you can afford from Western Digital or who ever your trust and putting them into a stripped array (fake RAID, RAID 0). Two 2TB 7200 Drives would perform nicely and get you 4TB total storage and about 200MB/S speed on your reads and writes.. Hope this helps.. [/QUOTE]
