Yes, they both have firewire. Mini is dual core, iMac is quad. Mini takes up to 8GB of RAM, iMac takes up to 16GB of RAM. iMacs can have much higher internal drive sizes, due to being 3.5"-based. Both have Thunderbolt, which means future peripherals (namely external drives) can be very fast...

Get Windows 2000 Pro, and call it a day. 98SE isn't even supported anymore after October (I think that's the month they call it quits). With the exception of ME, 98 is the worst operating system MS has made...

Presonus Inspire 1394 looks quite promising. 4 in's at a time, with 2 being phantom powered XLR.

Presonus Inspire 1394. Worth $50 more to be rid of USB recording, plus it has 4 simultaneous tracks.

No, they'll be a fair distance away, so as to capture to overall sound of the jam.

I was thinking of getting a matched set of 603's anyway for acoustic stereo miking. I was afraid the high sound levels would mess up the small diaphragm condensers. I am assuming by your post that this is not the case?

Hello, I need two mics, for stereo recording into a laptop, for recording jam sessions. Nothing fancy enough to actually mic everything up individually, but rather something to throw up for some impromptu jamming. I was looking at the M-Audio Microtrack, but then I'm like, why would I do...

I've got a Radeon 9250, with dual heads, for $50. Stable, and runs older games nicely.

$700? Good deal. Throw this on: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/PowerLogix/PF47S1700QD/ And you'll be a happy camper. I'd say with the cpu upgrade, it'll handle pretty much anything. without it, you might be freezing tracks a bit, but it'll still work.

If you researched around before you bought it, wouldn't you already have the answer?

definitely two 17"s, or two 19s if possible. I love dual monitors.

Rip off all the crap, set the appearance for performance (system-->advanced-->performance-->adjust for performance) and add a DIMM of 512 or even a gig. As was said, use something efficient, such as Audition or Tracktion. I've had good luck with Tracktion on my 1.33Ghz Celeron w/ 768MB of RAM.

Gateway MX3560 w/ Centrino 735, DVD-R/W and 512MB of Ram: $1049 Hitachi 80gig 7200rpm laptop hard drive: $219 = $1268 I've been using a Gateway for 3 years now, without a problem. And it's a helluva lot slower than this one. I am very happy with it. Dells are decent too, at least the...

yeah, PCI Express in "cardbus" style format is on the way, and it's indeed not backwards compatible. The only stuff worth buying for laptop use right now is firewire stuff, because that'll be around for awhile. Even the 800 stuff is backwards compatible with 400 FW. I don't know what Emu...
