Sounds interesting. I remember trying out Steinberg's The Grand, and being impresssed with it, but I didn't have a MIDI keyboard at the time (well I had a PSR-340 keyboard that supported MIDI, but no cable) so I had to do it with the less than convincing mouse.

Ever dig into the whole year zero (NIN) "conspiracy" about the countdown to the revolution? A few of the clues used to solve the puzzle did the same thing, and revealed new hidden tracks and links to other clues.
Tying this in, Apple uses Intel chips now I believe and Apple has a stranglehold on the music creation/editing business of computering. This whole thread "Intel vs. AMD" seems to have been from Windows point of view, any opinions on the different options Apple users out there have on this?

As far as I'm aware Macs don't use AMDs, so surely it's IBM vs Intel? In which case, intel hands down.

Thats true, I suppose I was being lazy and asking for opinions about overall performance from people who may have used an Apple with a new Intel C2D in it. The one my band uses for sampling/ sound bank changes/ live choreographed video is a little older than that, and I was wondering how it "stacked up" to others.

The Core 2 Duo systems murder the dual PowerPC ones, I've heard.

Oh my god... it hasn't even shipped yet. I checked order status and it's still in processing. Grrr!
A big reason why I hate Dell... shipping time.
It says it ships tomorrow so I'm hopeful.
I'm ready for a new screen. I had my Sceptre hooked to the Intel and and I went to play FEAR. Completely forgot that I had limited resolution... I almost cried :(
FEAR is NOT fun in resolutions that black out my screen!
I'm freaking ready for a widescreen... BRING IT ON!!!

I played FEAR at 2560x1600 once (Had to edit the config file to do it though, and I think you'll have to do so to get 1920x1200, 1920x1440 isn't going to work, and 1600x1200 won't fill your screen) and although it didn't play all that well, it looked AWESOME.

I know about the custom config in FEAR... it works well but it was set at 1600 x 1200 on the Intel when I plugged in the monitor... just hit continue and BAM.... black screen. Totally depressing.
[EDIT]Funny that it didn't set it down, eh?[/EDIT]
So even If I gotta play with a custom config file that's no problem. As long as I don't have to stare at my tiny(relatively) CRT or play at 12 x 10 I'm good. lol

Although you have to keep a high res to maintain good picture quality, thus demanding high spec hardware, it is nice to know that there is no resolution I can set that will cause that problem!
