yeah cheers bombjack. just been looking at the carillon centrino laptops. i just want a tank realy. if i do go for 1 of the laptops. it will allways be plug'd in to the wall. i very rarly use my mac without it being plugin to the wall. only if i forget or somthing that its not. the 4 gig idea came from just wanting things to work easy less hassle. and from past with having 1.5gig.

i run a few things. nitro on a couple of channels vintage, more. they seem to be realy horse plugins onest ya got a few softsynths on the go aswell.

im kind of looking at the desktops aswell. i do want a carillon laptop. but if the desktops is gonna be a tank. thats what i might go for. the core 4 intel p4 560/3.6ghz 80 gb & 600gb sata raid 2 gb of ram. thats 1 im looking at. im just realy confused wot pc ta get its for music nothing else. on them centrino laptops it does say they giv far more bang per mhz
