I can't remember the exact specs off the top of my head. I do know that the chipset is AMD I have a dual-core processor.
6 gigs of RAM should be ok though???

That combo you're working with might not be the best, or for a better term, good/decent.

Do you know if your processor supports "virtualization" ? If not, look into grabbing at least an upper tier i3 or i5 intel processor (or an i7 for that matter if you can afford one), and a (quality) intel based chipset mobo.

They have been through enough at this point in the game to be proven winners.

anyone got a good link to download aksys 2.61? i have found two that link to akai website however when i click to download it does nothing. Can't seem to find it.

I'm attempting to get this to work in 10.4.11 intel machine. It always crashed, but i need to back up the hard drive and i really don't know how else to get all those folders of samples out of there.

Does anyone have this working on os 10.4.11?
thanks

Yeah, without question. 6 g's is enough to do plenty of work. However, it doesn't hurt to cram more into your rig when the opportunity presents itself...yah mean?

Well, he's the kat that finances all of this for me. He's letting me know that in a few months I should be seeing a tascam dm4800 and some other pieces of gear to get me going again. :D

Gots to have some kind of control surface for the daw ya know.
