excuse me would some one of you explain what the firewire/ santa rosa
problem is with your macintosh computer.
I have a macbook cd2 2.0(regulara) with 2gig limit of ram memory. is my computer good for music?
I don't know what the reported firewire problems are and I don't know what santa rosa is either of if I have that or if that is bad.
???

the santa rosa chipset was an update to the macbook hardware that allowed up to 4gb of ram instead of 2. i've got the same one you got (2ghz c2d with 2gb of ram max) and its awesome. i got mine around march of last year. you don't have santa rosa. no worries. still rocks.

how serious are you about what you do:
do you want your screen to say HOME or PROFESSIONAL when it starts up in front of someone else? If you are extremely serious about what you do, you will never want the word HOME written on anything you use for PROFESSIONAL purposes.
MAC or PC?
What are the chances of failure when the product you use was built by the same people that wrote the Operating System?
Now what are the chances for failure of using a computer that was built by a different company than the company that wrote the Operating System?
Chances are, if the hardware is designed and built by the same company that designed and built the OS, then you will less likely have problems.
Microsoft doesnt build or design any hardware or computer.
what a fucking retarded argument. asus build the macbook "pro" you dumbfuck. inside it you will find intel chips. ms and intel are practically married. apple came very late to this world.

no seriously, if you decide to get a PC under no cirscumstances should you get anything with "home" on the end of it.
Get XP Professional.
MACS have FW400 and FW800 ports, PCs dont. Youll need these to talk to any serious interface and also for serious bandwidth for ext harddrives. Im not sure if the esata drive ports are on laptop yet...
for audio there should be zero differences between home and pro. in fact because of the crippled networking in Home, it may run better! no firewire ports on a pc? what was your last pc laptop, a compaq 286?
