Under what sort of conditions, John? Let me know and I'll be happy to check it out. Are you talking about audio recording/playback? lots or few tracks? midi input latency?

I'll run the AdamJay test with and without the FF400 and post, too.

cheers

Great news! I'm still perfectly happy with my lowly MacBook, but it's nice to see that the new MBPs continue to raise the bar.

Yup! And I'll bloody go back if MBP Core2Duo + OSX + Live 6 + Firewire/FF400 isn't as rock-solid as Tibook 500 + OS9 + Live 4 + PCMCIA/Multiface... :lol:

Hoping for amazing things.... :D

I would have no issues buying a Mac Refurb. You get full warrenty, and in many cases they are pretty much brand new. Awesome deals on the refurb Core Duo MacBook Pro's right now.

Fusion-

• Ability to create and run a wide variety of x86 operating systems on OS X without rebooting.
• Access physical devices from the virtual machine. You can access physical devices such as CD ROM drives, video cameras, iPods, printers and high-speed disks from the virtual machine.
• Leverage Virtual SMP capabilities to gain additional performance improvement. You can assign more than a single CPU (on supported hardware with Intel Core Duo CPU) to gain additional performance for CPU-intensive workloads.
• Run over 300 virtual appliances: You can download any of the over 300 virtual appliances - preinstalled and preconfigured applications packaged with an operating system in a virtual machine - available from VMware's Technology Network. Setting up a wiki or blog server has never been easier.
• Fusion supports all Intel Mac hardware, including the new 64-bit Mac Pro and iMac.
