thnx for the comments.
if I don't reply quik its cos now on a snrs pension thuso every few days go to library to use net.
sounds to me an i5 intel with lots of ram , say 12 gigs.
then ssd for biab plus a regular hd might be way to go n save moolah over i7.
here in Canada i7 prices atre way over top imho.
other reason I don't wanna spend lotsa quids is cos tablets
r gonna get way more powerfull I hope over next few years..
HOPEFULLY..(he grins).
best to aLL.

PS...GOT A NEW INTERFACE I'M TESTING OUT..
Steinberg ur22 with biab n reap.
so far pretty impressed considering price point.
I used to make me own mic preamps..but now no point cos
the ur22 are pretty good.
