I'm looking at getting a new laptop for audio production (current system is pentium IIIM 1.3Ghz, 512 M memory, 5200 RPM hard drive, Presonus Firepod running with FreeBob , not really cutting it). I'm wondering what people's opinions about the Intel dual core vs. an AMD64 bit processor, both with 2GB of memory, and a 100GB 7200 RPM hard drive. From my limited understanding the dual core is like a dual processor (maybe?) running in parallel. It seems to me that the dual core would be better than the AMD64 for audio production. Art
