Do you guys think this is a good deal

vaio computer

Do you guys think this would be strong enough to run a digi001, with a motor mix and lots of waves plug-ins. Im switching over from a mac maybe and trying to figure out what pc to buy.

Thanks

get an AMD Athlon computer. they perform better with PT and they are also cheaper. this coming from someone who owns an Intel P4 comp.

...but even that computer you mention is still a whole lot faster than any mac in terms of raw processing power.

also even if u did get that one u would have to upgrade the ram...
and i wouldnt get it cuz its a Sony... I dont like sony, compaq, or HP

you would be better off building one urself cheaper

true.

mm, the best way.

if you absolutely insist on buying a desktop that is pre-built, maybe dell?
also, there's Carillon and MusicXPC. both make specialized music computers for PT (and are officially Digi approved).

I see... Thanks guys. Im a look into building one.

yea, before you buy anything, you should read Allen Hallada's "Under $1000 PT Machine" thread that's a sticky in this forum...

I switched from Mac in March, built a 2GHz Athlon, haven't had any serious trouble, 5x the processing power of the 800MHz G4 I sold.

Damon. . .How much processing power are you getting? How many reverb plugs? How about compression and e.q.?

Thanks,
Rusty
