which out of those 4 should i get? Im really liking the thrid one but will these be up to par with pro tools?

2. Like I siad i have version 7.0 of pro tools so If I got a vista pc I know I cant use it up there so could I install the 7.0 then buy the upgrade then itstall the 7.4 and it will work?

any of those 4 computers will work just fine...

but i'm going to tell you something i wish someone had told me when i moved to protools:
-the pc may not work as well as you may expect, just right out of the box.

to give you an idea of what's needed in order to get good performance, visit: www.musicxp.net

I've been in the computer business for more than 15 years, and all i can say is... for music, this cheap machines just dont hold up, no matter how fast they are.



hope this helps
