Started saving for a new Mac, been floating in and out the Apple stores, but lately have started wondering "why"... their current models are only slightly better... almost negligible differences to justify a huge 3k purchase...
So I want to compare:
2.16 Dual Intell, 2G RAM
What are you guys working with?

Basically I'm trying to see if I'm behind the technology curve, or hopefully, at least average.

Yo I'm working with a q9550 quad core processor on a gigabyte x48 motherboard, 4 gb of ram at 1066 and then a delta 1010lt, all with TinyXP. Pretty fast setup, lots of cooling and super quiet.

I have fallen behind with my AMD athlon 64 X2 3800+ and 1 GB RAM, running XP, but as I run XP and don't need any fancy synths or anything, I can run everything with 15ms latency and rarely ever need to increase samplerate(I owe that to ASIO4All too)

I got AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
only 1 GIG of RAM but also running Vista that takes it down to 768mb RAM free :/
2 80GB HDDs and one has only 4MB left
I need to upgrade a bit, I think

Haha, yeah. Been thinking about doing that. Vista's annoying with hardware support issues and stuff, too.

Why not go down the Hackintosh route on a dual hdd/dual boot set up? Best of both worlds surely?
Also, to whoever mentioned TinyXP: have you had a troubles with it, anything stop working (ie wireless, soundcards, etc), and can I just boot it off the disc or a flash drive, or does it have to be installed over the top of a clean formatted hdd? I've got an old laptop which I may dust off and donate to this experiment...

Dual core 3.2Ghz Pentium, 4gb ram, 200gb hd, xp sp3, emu 1616m.
I'm well happy with it tbh. I won't be looking to upgrade my rig or os until programs require ai to run!
I do have a 250gb hd for storage and backup purposes though.

There is are only two reasons to buy a Mac.
The first is to feel good about your consumer gullibility, the second is to use Logic. Assuming you're thinking about using Logic, that's one hell of an expensive program purchase!!!
I guess it could be likened to buying a Porshe. Fun, sexy (apparently), and totally OTT for running down the shop in...!

Delete that bloated useless piece of crap please!
Try Avira or Avast! for free instead, and use Malwarebytes for deep periodical scans. I bet you're swimming in shit that Norton let slip through the net for which privilage you have to pay, pfft. Fuck Norton with big sticks or dynamite.

Everyone I know, who has Vista has some kind of issues with it, besides it wastes RAM, which could be used for anything else or kept free for faster computing. A lot of settings cannot be changed that can be in XP, the "user friendlyness" is just plain annoying, etc.
EDIT: forgot to mention compatability issues, a lot of things that run in XP, won't in Vista.
