thinking of moving from a Powerbook G4 1.67 up to a Macintel Laptop to run a huge live kit in logic. The new books still have a 2Gig Ram limit...my present live template exceeds that and memory paging begins. On the G4 this means audio glitching as OSX moves data to and from the system disk. I was wondering if the Intel boxes with their much faster buses can thus run memory-hogging setups without interrupting the flow of audio (a dual G5 with only 512 Megs of RAM was able to do this)...Not looking for simultaneous playback of many tracks, just the ability to load way way beyond the RAM ceiling with VSL and plugs in a live situation..with no audio stuttering anybody care to test this out THX Jeff
