Computer Shopping

Category: Gear

Having now upgraded to Sonar 6 Producer Edition (naturally, just before the release of Sonar 7), I am seriously considering a computer upgrade. Of course, I want the most bang for the buck, but the less time that I have to fiddle with it, the better. In years past, I would have gladly built my own system - but now that I am older, I try to use my time more judiciously. I’ll leave the PC building to those who do far more of it than me.

In short, I’m considering a system with a dual-core processor (Intel or AMD), 2GB of RAM, an 80GB drive for the OS, a 320GB drive for audio, and a 320GB drive for samples and SoundFonts.

Below I’ve added some links to the systems that I am considering (in no particular order). If you have any opinions concerning these systems or the makers (especially based upon experience) - or even other product suggestions - I welcome your comments.
