I'm thinking about switching to a MAC. Would I see any noticable performance difference between the dual and quad machines when running Biab?

Hi Fiddle
Pass ... :-) Personally I'd get the quad. I'll be updating to a quad imac later this year because it should run faster all round.
Regards
Keith

If you get it, see if you can be the other beta tester.
LOL.
It sure seems odd that when they ask for beta testers in the Windows forum there is a lineup of a bunch of people, probably 25 or so. So far I see one person expressed interest.

Yeah ! C'mon Mac guys !
Oh wait... I'm the one who showed the interest... ...never mind .
Although to be honest, at the rate that Mac news happens, I do find it easy to forget to check in here for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.
I for one would love to beta test some (hopefully) new features ! C'mon piano roll MIDI editing, yes maybe even an audio track ! RealTracks were a great addition in the last version, but I can't wait to hear what is store for the next version !
EDIT: Oops sorry almost forgot what I was going to say in the first place. Welcome fiddle, go for the quad you won't be sorry. Big difference over the dual (all around, not just in BiaB ) IMHO.

In my limited experience with quad - No. But that answer is ONLY the answer to this specific Q, I can think of 25 other good reasons to go quad. What you will need for BIAB is a giant harddrive, internal or external, slow or fast doesn't make much difference in this case, but large. But think thru what you are planning to do and bide your time until we know what the new versions contain of in just a couple of weeks. If you would force me to buy TODAY, I would consider Paralell desktops and the new Windoze version on the Mac...

I'm running with an Intel core2 duo, and BIAB 2009.5 runs very fast on my machine, even when running other applications simultaneously; such as Guitar Rig4, for example.
Where a quad processor truly comes in handy is with very intensive programs such as video editing/rendering or rendering of animation, and in Logic Pro when working with multitrack recordings.
