Tons of good advice and experience on this forum. I have a couple of simple setups. I run MP 8.05 on a I-5 Dell desktop running windows 7 with a fasttrack ultra 8R. I also have a NRV-10 and a fast track pro. The 8R is very well behaved in windows 7, and unlike FireWire, you can write straight to the system drive. I still use the scoring software that comes with MP 8.05 all the time. I keep this setup because of many old files that I don’t want to lose. If you don’t have that requirement, then cut bait and run to a newer OS and interface. I spent way too much time debugging instead of writing and recording. I would go with a desktop over a laptop, JMHO. Good luck, if case you are still deciding what to do.
