Almost every computer being sold these days is more than capable of running BB and most other DAW software. The biggest issue with off the shelf machines is all the crapware and bloatware they put on the machine. If you take the time to remove it and straighten up the registry, you'll be running a good machine.

Only if you're building your own box do you have to be sure things are going to work properly. Even then, you're generally good to go.

Heck.... I'm running an Intel i5 chip on XP pro 32 bits, and 4gb of memory. I have zero issues with things running smoothly and fast enough to keep me happy.

I also tend to run the program with a minimum install..... leaving the real tracks on the factory drive. everything loads to memory and it's ready to roll.... and rock.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
