Mac, PC or other?

[Lord Wallace]

I've heard that Mac's are pretty much bulletproof when it comes to music, and certainly, whenever I have used them for such a purpose, they have never fucked up.
Mind you, Windows based software has been just as OK so far for me.
Its '6 of one, half a dozen of another' if you ask me........

I currently run a Pentium 2.4, 1GB Ram, 2X80GB HD, M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard. Old hat, but I get by...

All the computers at my schools campus are Macs. I hate them soooo much. Their slow, confusing, and nothing more than backward windows.

Anyway, I use windows XP. For playing audio I use iTunes.

PC: processor AMD 3200+, ASUS A8V DeLuxe MoBo, 2 GB RAM, running Win2000. Works perfectly, no need for Win XP.

Windows 2000 is acually the most stable version of all operating systems microsoft has brought out

[gravehill]

I can't say as I don't have first hand working experience from Win XP but it definitely beats Win98, which actually wasn't THAT bad either...

Yeah macs can be slow and annoying and confusing, like what's with the mouse only having one button? But over all I like my mac and it rarely crashes. I only find it fustraiting the way it has less memory and the way you have to search harder till you find something compatable for mac.

i'm using a Mac OS 10.2.7

[Gopher]

I have at my disposal:

MASTER:
XP3000+ Barton core
2GB of RAM (266MHz SDR-SDRAM, if I remember correctly, CL=2.5)
Terratec DMX/6fire 24/96
Win2K SP4

SLAVE (also doubles as a CFD box):
P4 2.4GHz Northwood core,
1GB RAM (Also 266MHz SDR)

Laptop (theoretically slave 2):
Centrino 1.7GHz
2GB RAM (400MHz if I remember properly)

FXTeleport makes a great force multiplier, though to be honest I've only made one track which actually used more than one machine. Ideally I'd upgrade CFD-Box to have 2GB of ram so that it can actually do proper things, be it work-based or music-based, because with sampler stuff 1GB can't do diddly squat, since the main load-paths are HD read speed (streaming) and amount of memory (sample buffers).

Oh, my DOSBOX doesn't count. (Yes, I do have 4 computers. We also have motherboards for another 2, and there are another 3 computers in the house, for a grand total of 10. And the PS2 in the living room. Jeez, I should cluster the lot, were they all mine

MAC is the BEST! Plus when it comes to music software when I'm using Pro-Tools It is Great! I have the newest MAC Labtop.
