as far as i know ... ableton live is already compatible with dual core, but for the moment only for mac.
version 6 will be able to handle dual core also on pc, it is planned for the end of the sommer.
i'm waiting version 6 to upgrade to a dual core pc...
and i think it is the way to go

I don't care if the graphic card is rubbish as long as it has the best sound card and can run ableton at its fastest speed. price range 700-1000 pounds.
any suggestions?

mac or pc?

listening now...
nice set!
thx

olé

i use since years,
but only for drumpatterns or easy/quick loops.
i find the price very fair for what it can do.
i would not produce a whole track on lit,
but have it still installed and use it sometimes....

native instruments battery, for drumsounds
or simply ableton live (impulse) make this
it depends on what you want to do exactly...

wow!
thx!

amazing!
thanks!
