I have an Emachines M6809 and it works great. Best Buy sells a new version of it under the Gateway name. If you look under best laptops it is the most recomended. I never get any error messages and from what I hear it outperforms the G4 by far. After I did a custom install of the OS I can record with 64 sample buffers on all 8 analog inputs and monitor back using Focusrite compressors and 7 band EQ on every channel.
