Buy from newegg. they are EXCELLENT, and cheap, RMA is a dream come true in case you need it. and buying there is also one of the best online shopping experiences I've had.. lol what a spam, but they've never ever let me down so they deserve it!!! The high-end choice now adays for a "music / Pro Audio and Video Rendering computer" is the Athlon 4800+ X2 it's better than any Intel Pentium out there for some tech reasons I'd explain in a computer forum and it's rock solid STABLE it also runs cooler than any pentium. the only way to fry an AMD is by extreme OverClocking it as MANY MANY ppl do, or that you are just too stupid and cannot follow the picture instructions for propper heatsink installation... I don't know that much about MACs so I won't comment on that... Add a decent MOBO, a SATA II drive and 1 memory GB and you are good to go!! I've gotta say, I'm using right now a "piece of junk" an Athlon 1800+ XP it's like 4 years old. And it runs FLAWLESSLY my copy of Sonar 5 PE. I can't play any new PC game and probably it'd explode if I try to. But it can run Sonar, Sound Forge and REASON!!! without problems so you figure...
