[QUOTE="eisblitz, post: 1031661, member: 119594"] I'm just seeing them advertised as 2.2something, not anything really exact. I tried talking to a friend about this and he told me the macbooks have the same power as the mac pros but in a smaller package, yet their prices are higher on the towers. He didn't tell me much about the iMac except for lack of expandability, which I think would be the same with the iMac. I guess I'm looking for something over 2ghz, as in 2.2,2.4,2.6, etc.. My needs are somewhat large with firewire and so I will need a memory upgrade to probably double whatever I get, or triple if it's something with 2GB. I don't see how music production would need the same hardware as rendering animation or large videos, yet the processing power I've heard of people stating leads me to think it does; however from some craigslist's descriptions that I've read, a 2.2ghz mac pro computer with 4GB memory and decent 256mb ati video card "screams". The interface I'm looking at for sound is the RME fireface 800. It will do all of the midi synchronisation and computing for other hardware connected, so the computer doesn't have to do all the work for every midi device connected. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
