What Computer is everyone using???>?

[DonGraham]

Alright I just took the plunge and got a new Mac G5.....Dual 2.3 GHz Processors, Dual 1 GHz frontside bus, 160 Gb drive, 10.4 OS/X Tiger, 1 Gb RAM expandable to 8 Gb.....I am runnning Pro tools 6.9 LE with a DIGI 002 R and was having some real problems with my PC (1.9 GHz Athlon with 512 Mb Ram) Even with my 300GB Maxtor external hard drive..........I also splurged and got the 23" cinema widescreen monitor.... $3500 at Frys

So I am just wondering what is everyone running for PC/MAC.....What are your good/bad experiences with either one.......

[Ben Logan]

Yeah! Sweet setup!

I've got an old hand-me-down PC that my father in law gave me. No bells or whistles here, but it runs my UA Project Pak nicely.

I need more RAM though...

[GOODLAND]

I'm running a PC but no problems here. I'm also running PTLE 6.9 with the Digi002.

P4 64bit 3.2 GHz
2GB DDR2 Ram
Win. XP
19" LCD

No complaints here

IBM 360 - it's great - no messing around with lowercase.

Currently running a DELL ,
2.8 GHz P4

And currently recording to/playing back from the internal 7200rpm drive for home projects (got a Mac-format external drive for serious recording projects in the studios @ school)

...and PTLE 6.4 runs like crap on my system

Don, nice computer you have there! Probably the best upgrade you could do for it at some point is add more RAM.

I'm using a Mac dual 800 G4, OS 10.3.8. Runs great and is a great sequencing/audio machine.
