if you are going to use this strictly for making music and maybe surfing to research stuff on the net, I would try out a dual core Mac Mini...

for this stuff, that is the way to go...

just my opinion.

$800 for that computer is a rip-off. save a few more hundreds and get a state of the art machine. for about $1100 you could get a brand new dual core lappy. the P4 processor running at 1.6 you cant even run reason 3.0 with 5 combi patches.

i would not pay more than $450 for a P4 running at 1.6.

p.s. what looks like gold is not always gold.

THX...ppl keep telling me to go with the dual core Mac Mini...so im leaning towards that

add another gig of ram.

why get an iMac? i love Apple computers but man, half the cost is the monitor with an iMac. might as well get a laptop if you are buying a screen from Apple. you can get a decent MacMini and find a good monitor locally and still have cash leftover for some kind of audio interface.....

i might as well get the imac my brother just told me we get 17% off all apple computers ..and im feeling it so far...that should take care of my extra stuff i will be adding 2 my computer like the warrany or anything else

That computer is $$$ for that processor. Are you a student?
