[QUOTE="poisonpage, post: 615246, member: 50920"] Thanks for all your help! I was looking into buying the Macbook, but it looks like I will get the Macbook Pro. I AM looking for performance, and I guess I could scrap the idea of using my old HDs and just get the eSATA expansion and get a 500gb 7200rpm external drive. That way I don't need to upgrade the internal hard drive, and still multitrack record. Now the question is: Since I'm daisy-chaining two Firepods into the FW 400 slot for 16 tracks (built for FW400), if I get an adapter from 400->800 does that allow the FW 400 devices to 'breathe' a bit more on the 800 port? The specs are still the same from the Macbook I was looking at to the one I should be getting, but it has that expresscard 34 slot AND the FW800 port too....those will be nice to have if I eventually get a FW800 compatible audio interface, and want to expand and have a fast ext. HD. thanks again, Paul [/QUOTE]
