    Default Gonna buy a new PC soon, what should I look for in one?

    I got like £300 ish, altho some of that money is to erm. LIVE on. Im gonna dip into my uni loan which I get Jan 15ish (prolly when the sales r done).

    Im not gonna spend more than £699, otherwise Im looking to be the next MJ Cole, and have an album n schitt.

    Is 2Ghz ok baring in mind 3Ghz is the new standard?

    How much RAM is needed to run VSTs with VST Hosts, Big Apps, Rewired Apps (i.e. Logic and Reason at once, for e.g. ). What will be enuff?

    HOW MUCH of a diff does soundcard make, baring in mind a wave sounds like a wave, and mp3 like an mp3 no matter what ur hearing on?

    What will fool me? i.e. Im staying clear of AMD $$$$elon. What a pile of poop. The man in 1999 when I was buying this AMD 440Mhz calculator of a PC said: yeah, PIII is jus a name, ur payin for the name, AMD is good enuff - hahah. NOPE.

    Anyway, schooling please?

    you want a good soundcard for 1 main reason wehn triggering sounds with your keyborad.u dont want a delay..something called latency.

    you want:

    2ghz
    256mb minimum
    60+gb

    really good sound card..

    programmes: depends..reason is a good programme if your new into production but if you used that; and find it easy maybe get cubase neundo..$$$$ing wicked

    hopes this helps

    safe. I was thinking 3ghz is still new and the softs I have only need like i dunno: 200Mhz more than I currently have, to run good, plus a bit more ram than I currently have. So 2ghz is aight? ok.

    I know about latency. I got a midi kb that I cant use cos my latency with this PC is about 2 weeks after I hit the note - PLUS CRACKLING!

    I love Reason. ITs interface is the warmest, helpful and inspiring Ive used (mind u, I aint used much). I jus need lots of the other ones to back up reasons shortfalls like lack of VST hosting bla bla..

    safe trebalz

    I'm looking to get something similar sometime in the new year. I intend to get a laptop and I've been looking around at prices etc. PC World is such a rip-off by the way. I had a look in Staples which is far more reasonable.

    I want to go for 512mb ram, at least - as opposed to the 256.

    Can anyone please recommend any good places for getting laptops etc?

    thanks people, and I added you trebalz.

    yeah Ive got like 300 ish right now, but I wanna wait til Im at £699 cos that seems 2b the standard price these past few weeks. What r some soundcards to look out for?

    Flipside, laptops are all about ego and flashy. they cost £200 more than a PC with the same spec. Unless u plan to make tunes on the train, cant u wait til u get home?
