Hmm... Which to go for?

No, not really, a decent pro sound card, a couple of gigs of ram a raid array and a low end AthlonXP would suffice for the making of music. You shouldn't need a hugely powerful cpu provided you have plenty of storage space (in terms of ram and hd space) and a good pro sound card, the rest is irrelivant.

Just look at macs...

Depends how much you are into realtime massively polyphonic softsynth stuff I guess ;-)

heh, the DSP in the the sort of soundcard I'm looking at would be doing that provided the software was up to scratch ;-)

But by pro sound card, I'm not talking Audigy's here, am talking about the sort of kit you pay £600 for :-D

Blimey. That's more than I paid for my rackmount :lol:

Still it was half price ;-)
