If you are interested in my opinion you really cannot do better than the answers to this question in the PTLE forums. Look here: http://duc.digidesign.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB32 Since Ardour and Pro Tool LE are very similar in scope and function my experience is that the hardware choices work very well for both. Of course you do have to ensure that Linux will run on the machine, but I think there is so much info here that you shouldn't ignore it if you are interested in other people's results. Look at the 'Best Laptops for PTLE' and 'Best Desktops for PTLE' threads. End of the thread holds the most recent info. - Mark On Tue, 30 Nov 2004 15:46:14 -0800, Brad Fuller <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Lee Revell wrote: > > > > >On Tue, 2004-11-30 at 14:50 -0800, Brad Fuller wrote: > > > > > >>Stories? recommendations? > >> > >> > >What kind of price point are you talking about?
