You know....I think as pc based osftsynths get more powerful....its the Macs that will be in a better position to run them.....with their dual processors and shit.

hehe

There are motherboards for PC's with double processors aswell. I don't think macintosh will be better to run software-synthesizers.

I had an macintosh before and i gotta say that it was the worst thing ever, unstable as h*ll. No, no 'bluescreen'-type of crash, but reason for example didn't work properly - and no, i didn't use a warez-version of Reason.

And the processor was maxed out when i had used 3-4 subtrators, 2 samplers and a drummachine.

Never again a macintosh, I'll stick with with a PC instead which is more easy to tweak, fix if anything would break and so on.[/quote]

pc loses its value as soon as you step out the store/build it-
a 2000 dollars daw which you just build today will be worth about 20% less in 2 months and every month will lose 5 % more.
on the other hand macs tend to keep their value.

Well, I really don't care about the price dropping off, it's like with synthesizers aswell (VA's of course).

I look like it like this: Even if the price would drop 20% after the purchase, i really don't mind since i am gonna keep it, until it's time to upgrade and which i will use the PC as a server/spare-parts-machine.

I used to think that macintosh was great, until i got my own which didn't quite seem to measure up to my expections from it, and i got help from a Apple-tech to tweak it so i could use Reason in a better way.

But, i don't wanna hear "jada jada jada.. macintosh rules.. jada jada jada" so, this is just my opinion about macintosh - if your computer works well, fine!

Indeed, I'm running a dual xeon system, which was only a little more than a high end single processor system.

Its a shame that you had such a bad experience with your Macintosh, because I was always a PC user, but upgraded to Mac much to the ridicule of my peers, but I have never looked back since. These new G5 machines are really quite amazing! Especially for audio......

Anyways, if you have a PC specifically designed for audio, they are just as good as the Macs....
