Default Digi002 + (MiniMac OR RadPC) = Smooth Problem Free

I have a digi002, at the moment I'm running it with a decent PC:
amd 64bit 3200+
512 kingston ram
gigabyte k8nsnxp motherboard
300gb hdd space

But I still have a lot of problems, I formatted a few days ago, and now I can't even get protools running. Basically I'm starting to think that although my PC is fairly decent, this just isn't worth the hassle, and that I should go and buy a mini-mac and be done with it.

My question to you is, will a mini-mac handle a 002, running multiple tracks, and plug-ins?

I also work at a studio as an assistant, and attend college, both of these places use protools on a mac, so theres another advantage to me using it on a mac at home. But I don't want to pay the price, and then have latency issues.

Thanks.

Do a search on the Mac Mini! This topic has been discussed in great detail around here.

Give some information on how many tracks and plugs you hope to run in one session,
and that will give an idea as to if the mini will be enough for you.

And just to let you know even if you buy the mini you still have to get PT and OS working well
also, it doesn't allways mean perfect because it's a Mac, but platforms have pros and cons.
