each core runs at 1.67. You don't measure the power of dual core CPUs by their combined clock speed.

Intel chips... dark grey color... uninspired name... it even looks like a PC.

Whatev!

I like the computers I got. Next time I buy a computer it'll be a Mac, it just won't be anytime soon.

It's welcome news for sure.

^^^^BOO^^^^^^

almost identical the dell has a little more power offered and better hard rive speed.........why cant I run windows and OSX on either/or?????????

hmmmm

Dell can go FUCK themselves as far as I'm concerned.

I switched to Mac just to piss on them.

I'm also a firm believer in the "Down with Win. and up for OSX on Intel chips, vibe" But I'm gonna wait for a couple years till I make another laptop purchase. I don't use a rediculous amount of time based FX simultaniously, so cool! but whatever! at the same time.

Now that Mactel is here, the only thing seperating users is their preference of Windows or Unix. Everything else is apple to apples comparison.

When will there be a Live that's native for these Mactel monsters, i.e. "Universal Application"?

"Universal Live".... not bad... Must be something

Will also expose Windows for the clusterfuck bloatmonster it is. Mate of mine said he used to get much better performance out of games (in the line of 'good' versus 'not usable') when using WINE (windows API emulation) under Slackware Linux than under actual windows ON THE SAME MACHINE... makes you think, don't it!

This fails to make me drool too, I have to say.

This may be a stupid question, but:

If Live is currently not supporting dual-processors on IBM/PPC Macs -
will it do so with intel duals?

i could care less if its windows or MAC I have been using Windows and my friends mostly all use MAC the most important part of the equation is LIVE running on a fast machine, I could really care less either way. My personal chioce for using "PC's" is because of the power I get for my money, i.e. fast notebooks at affordable prices.......

Please don't suck me into a stupid MAC vs. Windows debate, it's like Christians and Muslims arguing about who's GOD is better......PEN vs. PENCIL......etc.etc.etc.


many of you MAC people seem a bit overly insecure and aggressive about trying to force your whole MAC ideology doen everyone else's throat, for years MAC people have been like this, as if your music isn't valid unless you make it on a MAC.....as if you feel intimidated by PC users and the advancement of PC technology threatening your cozy little nest in your imaginary ivory tower.....all delusion...most of you are just END USERS like most PC users are and are simply fiddling around with someone else's creations/hard work and taking all the credit


It's complete rubbish. Get a life. Or a girlfriend, you need a little booty to relieve some of that pent up anger you got there....

with a few of those myself, I can relate to this 'lack of excitement' !!

But surely RME will (at some point in the not-too-distant-future) release an "ExpressCard™" version of their cardbus harware? Probably when Apple releases their 17" version of the beast, and Ableton has a binary that really works optimized for MacTel.

Until then, I will wait.... The 20" iMac sure looks sweet for home use, though.

Some of us use the machines on the road for more than just music. I love my Dothan 2.0 GHz for many things, but it's far easier to run a full development web server, open source middleware and SQL databases on a souped-up Unixed Mac, or do some on-the-fly video editing with FCP.

It's not about the hardware (I have both), but the apps you need to run.

Not everything is cross-platform.

Please refrain from making blanket statements as above; or at least, say "In My Opinion"....otherwise, it can come off as very superficial. Many of us have more of a life that's you'd imagine, regardless of which CPU we use.

I can't imagine the Abs are not already working on a universal binaries version of Live. I suspect they already have a working version in their "labs"... Just my opinion.
