remember..
daws rely heavily on hard drive performance as one major factor of many.
seek times and many other factors like rpm n cache etc etc.
then there is memory speed as well as processor performance.
lots of things.
altho expensive the new i7 processor quad with hi performance drives is thrilling lots of daw
users , cos it outright smokes. try rb or ptw on one as a test if ones useing an old pc.
watch your jaw drop in amazement (as well as your bank account..lol.)
people are saying heavy projects that used to consume high 70 per cent are dropping into the high
teens. but i'm waiting frankly cos of price.
i bet the rb generation process would be lots faster on an i7 system.
a well as trak consolidates n mixdowns n seq saves n loads etc etc
with top notch drives.
best bet run a trial on one. n measure real world differences.
anyone useiong one ??

i7 laptops are now starting to appear...wowser.
