whats better or whats the difference.as i have had my tax refund and im looking to order tomorrow.

What DAW are you running and what are your plans musically because that makes all the difference in the world. Personally, dual core is all you should need. I say go with a dual core iMac. IMHO, I would stay away from a PC. You will be happier in the longrun.



Just my $.02.

yeah i’d love to go for mac but its pc im im upgrading,plus im upgrading to live 8.The main reason im upgrading is cos im also gonna buy omnisphere,but from what i’ve seen it eats up many peoples pc’s.i just want a bit of future proofing too.
