This is plenty as well. For recording, you don't even need so much CPU power. Much ram and fast fat hard disks are more important. But even if you do a lot of synthesis the 800-900 MHz class is quite powerful. I use an Athlon 900 in my main machine a lot with Pd. My new laptop has a Celeron Mobile 1.3 GHz which feels faster but my main machine doesn't actually feel slow at all. Of course you can do things, that kill a 1 gig processor but you can do things as well, that kill a 2.5 gig CPU. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
