Are the computer specs almost the same? CPU, ram. etc.

Is anything running in the background in the PC that is not running in the Mac? Anti-stuff?

The BiaB in my Internet computer (Intel 3.20 GHz - 64 bit- 8 gigs of Ram) plays almost as fast as your Mac. Of course I have all of my anti-stuff running in the background.

My off-line music computer (Intel i7-3.40 GHz - 16 gigs of ram) is as fast as your Mac. It has nothing running in the background.

Both machines are running Win 10 Pro.

It would be interesting to see what others are getting.

PS - Pipeline, I am not doubting your test results. I'd like to find out if they are typical or not.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
