Hey,

I'm a slightly nervous mac guy thats about to take the plunge into uncharted waters (for me anyway) and buy a PC (Dell Inspiron Notebook).
I'm wondering if anyone knows which of the Intel Centrino chipsets (855GM, PM or GME) is best for use or has a better record of reliability with Ableton Live users.

Cheers
Wol

If you are switching, first listen to this.

Play sound

My Dell uses the 855PM chipset and no complaints here.

2.0ghz Pentium M, 1ghz ram, 60gig 7200rpm hdd.

I thinking getting a Mac once the powerbooks are updated. Or if Live would support dual processors I would'nt mind owning a Dual G5 desktop.

I went an ordered a Dell 9200 2.0ghz. There has been good results over on the DUC using this machine with Pro Tools which I also use...if it can run a fussy program like Pro Tools then it can probaly run anything
