Hi guys, I have a small budget that I'm using to build/buy my next system for production and mixing. When I say small, I mean small. I can either go for a Windows PC with a core2quad CPU and around 6GB of RAM, or a Mac G5 with a Dual core CPU and 4GB of RAM.
The IT Technician in me sees the processing power difference and immediately tells me to build the PC, but I'v heard that MACs are generally a lot more stable for all things music (plus I'v never owned a mac and the thought excites me.) Il be upgrading the RAM on whichever machine I buy to 8GB.
In your opinion, would I be better off with the more powerful PC, or the Mac? I know that neither of these configurations are particularly powerful, but I'm currently using a Windows Laptop with a dual core Celeron CPU and 3GB of RAM...
I use an Axiom 25, A Korg PadKontrol and a (don't hate me) Numark Mixtrack Pro 2, all of which need to be compatible with the mac should I go down that route. I need to be able to run Ableton live, FL Studio and Traktor Scratch Pro 2 Well.
What are your thoughts DJ's?
Thanks in advance!
