As im going to buy a new laptop, i m wondering if its cpu is enough to produce or work on various music production programms... (like ableton for example)...
Is a dual core 2,5 and 4 gb ram enough?:conf:
what else should i look for a good machine? |

| I have 2.8 GHz and 1 GB of RAM and I am fine most of the time. I use Ableton + Reason + Native Instruments and Korg software. |

I have a vintage 2004 system.
P4 processor.
2.8 Ghertz.
1 Gig of RAM.
128 Megs of PCI (NOT express, sadly) graphics memory.
EMU 0404 soundcard.
I always run out of CPU on my projects... it's the biggest reason why I write so few finished tracks. |

I have a PentiumD 3.0 and I ALWAYS run out of CPU.
I think any decent Core2duo should be suffice. But if you have the money I'd go quicker if possible. |

I share in your pain.
As soon as I can I'm going quad-core, 4GB with PCI Audio. |

2.4Ghz Core2Duo, 2 gigs memory, I can run an entire track in Ableton without freezing anything (usually consisting of 6-7 synths, 2 drum samplers and 2-3 FX per track).
If it's a real core2duo and not Celeron 2 or something like that it should work like a charm |

| Processors are getting so heavy these days that RAM and Harddrives are starting to be the bottlenecks of our systems. |
