Members cheptronics Posted September 29, 2004 Members Share Posted September 29, 2004 P4 3.2 GHz is sufficientthe RAM is more important maybeand also the SOUND CARD -- I hope you don't have something from ~CreativeLabs running under Windows without the ASIO driver, for example also, check this site : http://musicxp.net The latency doesn't depend on the fact your computer is a tower or a laptopThe only difference between laptops and towers is that you can't use the same sound cards in both.

Members mytee2.0 Posted September 29, 2004 Members Share Posted September 29, 2004 any and all new(ish) cpus will be just fine. motherboard chipset and sound card are more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members qtuner Posted September 30, 2004 Members Share Posted September 30, 2004 if you're getting a laptop for music, get a fast hard drive. Either shell out hte money for the hitachi 7200 rpm 2.5" drive or get an external firewire drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either shell out hte money for the hitachi 7200 rpm 2.5" drive or get an external firewire drive. You're really not going to need massive cpu power for software samplers. As people mentioned, you're better off in investing in a fast hard drive and plenty of memory. You could even consider some Centrino based system for silent operation and extended battery duration. I second the hitachi (travelstar 7k60, I think) even though it can run rather hot (so you might be better off with an external HD, I got 250GB FW drive). I'd also make sure to invest in 1GB of ram - makes things run much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members qtuner Posted September 30, 2004 Members Share Posted September 30, 2004 least latency means you're need to get a pcmcia sound card. I've used many firewire cards, and I've found pcmcia cards to be faster (as long as they're bus masters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cheptronics Posted October 2, 2004 Members Share Posted October 2, 2004 no, you also have cheaper PCMCIA sound cards, like Digigram sound cards I know only a few about this, because I never had any laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
