Dominic. Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well I guess I can't stop you seeing as you're having so much FUN running Avid's excuse for a Windows version of a DAW Slightly more promising news is that after my dad initially failed to get me anything for my 18th, for uni he's offering to buy me a new computer so I asked for a MB Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit will run so much better with that program if you get your MB. Just be sure to get a good one cause anything Avid requires a lot of power to run smoothly. I prefer Reaper or Studio One myself so I'm fine on Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And damn, my laptop has the same specs pretty much and only cost $700 How big a difference are the two specs? This would have to last me a while, at least the 3 years of uni so I wanna make sure I get good enough spec to last. I don't know much about tech specs and I just assumed they were both good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about tech specs and I just assumed they were both good enough i7 is probably the best processor you can get out there right now (unless you overclock an i5 to get i7 power, but that's another story). Having the extra 250gb of memory could be good so you don't end up tight on space, but you can also get an external. And the RAM, well 8gb is much better than 4gb. But I don't know much about Macs so you'd need to check if you're getting a 64bit OSX or the 8gb is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna get the new (Mountain Lion?)

You'd want to check that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobius Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just OSX Lion It looks like it has both 32 and 64 bit kernels or something, so I guess you'll be fine. You'd want to check that though. If you have a 64 bit application, it will run, if you have a 32 bit application, it will also run. Your aren't limited to one or another on OSX now.

kueller Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you have a 64 bit application, it will run, if you have a 32 bit application, it will also run. Your aren't limited to one or another on OSX now. Usually 64bit can run 32bit programs, the problem is the other way around.
