Yeh I can understand that megamix....each user is gonna have their own criteria,and it depends on what you are doing,how you work etc.
Im just not prepared to upgrade my pc so thats the bit that gets me.I built this one about 6 yrs ago,went from sx3,to studio 4 to 4 to 5....
And im a happy camper....!
I need to record lots of things hence why I need to keep my m-audio card .... and they just cannot run on a pcie...booo
Otherwise it would be a no brainer....dont fancy sticking 6 or 7 onto my xp pc that can only run 3gb ram,specially for how I operate.Would maybe consider it for the laptop,if it didnt cost so much for a new copy
