1) Ableton Live CPU Meter % 66 - 70
2) powerbook
3) Operating System - OSX 10.4.6
4) 1.67 ghz
5) 1.5 gigs
6) stock soundcard
7) 5400rpm

Hmmm not that fast. Very interesting seeing all the different results.
Still plenty for me though, i never run that many effects.
When you think back a few years, somone with a desktop would have been more than happy with the kind of performance you get with a powerbook, so you gotta keep it in perspective. Its really easy to get caught up with wanting the extra power just for the sake of it. Ive learned to stop being so obsessive about my gear, and concentrate on using what i have.
Get way more work done that way.
