hellllo...
i'm very very new to mac, infact i don't know anything about them, only that i want one... now i've been using PC all my life and i want to move into mac. This MAC mini sounds nice, and can fit to my budget, i can't afford much... now, so far i've been using sonar (which means now i'll be moving into D. Performer woohooo!) for film scoring and mainly MIDI productions, not dealing with audio that much. ok sorry for saying that much, the question is - i can afford the MAC mini 1.42, i'll add a pc2700 1 GB and a 160GB 7200 (8 cache) FIREWIRE hdd... which means it'll be (in here) about - 1395$ more or less... is it worth it? will it be strong enough for, lets say - loading a full orchestra (heavy samples) into kontakt? well you get my point... it's worth it? i havn't got a clue in mac, none! hehehe please... any1 thanks, Yoav |
