Look for the same stuff as with Apple laptops! I.e. external firewire  
drive (only FW400 with pc), a good audio interface (I guess PCMCIA is  
good with PC) and finally good computer specifications. Regarding  
"computer specifications" you can find a lot good reports at the  
Ableton Live forum. Do a couple of searches over there! Here's what I  
found on a quick-search that might be of interest for you:

Oops, I forgot an important advice in my post below: Make sure you  
buy a lappy with enough USB ports! I'm working every day on an Apple  
Powerbook and it's a constant source of irritation having to swap USB  
cables all the time. The Logic dongle has to stay in one USB port all  
the time, then you have MIDI interface and eventual USB MIDI keyboard  
controllers, USB MIDI mixers etc. And of course the printer.

Also, Celeron based CPU have proven not good for audio work, but I  
guess you knew that ;-)

Hi All,

Since my dual G5 died I suddenly found out that some Apple Loops got  
stuck inside it. I'm here in the middle of a production and missing  
the Apple Loop named:

"Orchestral String Sec#25E"

If you happen to have that Apple Loop locally I would appreciate to  
get a clone sent my way -->  per@...

I'm afraid I have no clue from which application or jam pack I  
initially got that file. Not easy to keep track on your library while  
Apple keeps changing the file keeping routines between application  
and single versions of the same application.
