NO !!
before attempting to use biab to see
if your current pc is up to it.
ALWAYS enter into google search the following.
model of your processor plus cpu benchmark.net
this gives your processor a rateing at the benchmark
site.
eg "amd 64 cpu benchmark.net"
now enter "i7 4770 cpu benchmark "
notice the rateing difference " !!
i personally recommend a min rateing of 5000.
the i7 4770 is 7000.
i use reaper and biab on a refurb laptop with i5
plus ssd in it. wowser fast.
if your looking for a new computer try a REFURB.
you save a ton of bucks. with a warranty of course.
so if your in the market , enter into google
"intel i5/i7 processor ssd 8 gigs ram REFURB".
should get something around a few hundred bucks.
RB reported my laptop could do 190 traks for example.
also with ssd your boots will be fast.
all the mac users say "oh man pc is slow man ".
thats not so. i boot in 3 secs.
because it was set up right by the refurb store for me.
also i demo biab on the refurb before i buy it.
WOWSER ROCK OUT !
