Thanks Joe and Magne! A lot of good info. You're giving me more to think about.

Don't think much of the Ram's, as Windows XP can only make use of 4Gb of Ram's, so anything more than that will be useless-Magne

Funny, I was considering a computer with 8 gigs of RAM. Didn't know that Magne!

Once again, I'm leaning towards Mac & Digital Performer.

I'll check out the links you provided Magne.

We'll see what the "so called" experts at the store have to say today.

Best, John
