I have an i5 quad core : it destroys anything I throw at it...

Im sure their going to go to i20 but that doesn't mean it's needed for using music software...

if it's a step up then do it : enjoy : until the next episode.

I decided i'll get the i5 processor and + 2 gigs of ram. Should be more than enough.

you should get 4 gigs at least

ram is very important if it comes to producing software

oh, well with +2 i meant literally 2 more gigs of ram, making it in total 4 gigs :) I guess we were all talking about the same thing.

1366 i7 if you can afford it

the triple channel memory bandwidth will help if you use a lot of samples
