Mostly SPEED. You will see a noticeably faster load and rendering time for tracks and projects when you up spec the computer over the basic configuration.

More RAM is always a good thing.... combine that with the SSD's and a really fast quad core processor, and you have a machine that is just plain FAST. And in this biz...fast is good.


That was the first thing I noticed when I moved from my duo core Dell lappy to my custom built DAW with a quad chip..... it was much faster at everything it did. At the time, the i5 chip was still pretty much state of the art.... not so much now, but it's still a fast machine, considering that it's running a 32bit XP Pro OS. And pretty much rock solid and stable.
