I have my 2005 Joe Meek ThreeQ - Never Used - on Ebay. A college-student cash-cruch has caused me to abandon this before I even got the chance to use it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23793&item=7325704013&rd=1

Regardless of the bickering... The free mic deal is excellent. I order a 3Q from Zz sounds a few weeks ago and got it last week. Haven't got to try it much yet (busy with grad school), but I will be sending in my form for the mic soon, though. The mic deal is what made me decide to get one...

Dracon, What did I say about ruining the end?!?!?! We WERE talking about the SAME Bambie. Don't you watch those films for the PLOT? :p Josh

Dracon, Pjhew...I thought you were going to ruin the end of Bambie...thanks for keeping it to yourself. :D The notebook forums are great. I can honestly say that they have really helped to inform my purchase decisions as much as this forum has for mics, preamps, etc. Josh

Pennylink, Hey, someone just posted some 9300 pics: http://notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=69350 :p Josh

Pennylink, Thanks for the reply. I still may go with the 9300 -- it's a frontrunner. I wish that Dell offered the integrated HD sound in it, though. Of course, I think the only inputs I would trust on a laptop are the optical 24/96 inputs on the new powerbooks. So, for any PC I plan on...

Dracon, I'm not saying you should rule out Alienware, just passing along what I have read. Sager books look fantastic--even though they have heat issues, too. The 9860 is just an AWESOME machine. From what I hear pctorque.com has great support, too. If you are willing to go the laptop...

Dracon, Hmm...more to think about. In a lot of ways, I want to get an Apple, only because I love the OSX so much. However, I have only experienced it on a VERY, VERY outdated system. So, I can't test the number of tracks I could get going on OSX. Not to mention that it is even hard to find...

To add a thought: One nice feature on the new 17" powerbooks is that their audio-in port supports 24/96. Will the sound be good? I dunno. Josh

Yeah, I have heard a lot of speculation about the G5 powerbooks, but it seems like it will be at least a year, if not more, till they put one out. A few weeks ago, Jobs said that they wouldn't be out in the near-future. Heck, I found an article from this time LAST year, speculating that they...

Thanks for the help. One of the computers I am looking at is the new Dell 9300, which does have a 7200 HD with an 8MB cache (just checked). However, I am leaning towards the Mac, just because I really love OSX. The Powermac only comes with a 5400 HD. I have no idea about the bus speed on the...

Do you have any recommendations for such a laptop? I guess an even more important question would be, and what I am trying to get at: If I was to get a laptop with only a 5400 HD, how many 24/96 tracks would I likely be limited to with 2G of RAM? I am just asking for a guesstimate from someone...

Well, I may very well get an exernal drive, but the point of my question is that I don't want to depend on it. Basically, I want to be able to have a song on my computer's own HD and to be able to playback a substantial amount of tracks without having to worry about jitters, etc. Josh

I am shopping for a laptop and, while audio won't be the PRIMARY use, I plan on using it for audio eventually. However, I don't want to get into always needing an external hard-drive to record. So, my question is: recording at 24/96, how many tracks of playback will likely be my limit with a...

Do you record 24 bit? To the internal Hard Drive or an external one? I was wondering with both the processor and the 5400 hard drive how many simultaneous 24 bit tracks can be played back? What about RAM? Sorry for all the questions. :D Josh
