More USB ports is good, especially if they are all on their own root hubs. Running a hub with lots of things can wreak havoc! Or, it can totally work fine. That's the pain of USB. Most of the time it should work, but when it doesn't it's a bitch.

And if you intend to do that, stay away from USB audio devices. Firewire is less problematic in my experience.

Trust me, I had a nightmare of a time with my Xone 3D when I had it.

Oh an you can always get a USB hub if needs be.. all peripherals might not run at full power. but you can have lots then British

Originally posted by Zild 2 gigs of laptop ram is like $70. Buy it from newegg or somewhere similar though because manufacturers overcharge for extra memory. Also don't listen to people saying you need a mac. I really don't see what the big deal is with Apple.

Professionals use Mac.

pros use whatever works for them.
Macs are good, i want one, but they cost a heap and are very different if you have never used one before.

Windows is generally less expensive and works for people too, cause they are familiar..

And yeah, i have run into the root hub issue a couple of times.. sucks.

Definitely get firewire ports and equip cause they are less problematic and if i remember correctly run at faster speeds.

Yes, USB is really, really lame. I try to avoid it except for things like mice, keyboards, and other silly little things like such.

And a bunch of other shit. LOL guess I'm a pro since I use mac all the time. I just don't understand what is such a big deal about it that when someone comes in here saying 'I don't want a mac I want a PC' jotos with a bag of apples shoved up their ass have to come in here trying to force them to buy one anyway. I just don't understand that.

We only do it when the customer doesn't want to try the apple. lol

Use whatever you want; I don't care.
