More RAM (6-8 gigs) and then more hard drive if you can get it.

Much to my surprise, and my wife's, I returned from a recent trip to  
Wellington without a new synthesizer, I tried out the Moog Slim Phatty and the  
DSI Mopho, I quite liked the Mopho but in the end I decided to stick with the 
 Microkorg.

I also tried the Roland Gaia which has a great layout but to  my ears a 
rather disappointing sound. Oddly enough if I was going to be  tempted to buy 
another synthesizer it would be the M-Audio  Venom.

Anyway with Windows 8 on the horizon I've decided to replace my  10 yr old 
laptop with something a bit more powerful.

I am computer  literate but I haven't been following hardware for some 
years, I am looking at  getting a laptop with an Intel I5 processor, 4 gig of 
ram and a 500 gig hard  drive running windows 7.

I'll be using my usb sound card. I can't face  getting to grips with Apple 
and anyway I've got too much pc software that I  still want to use.

Anybody have any other suggestions or  advice?

Thanks

Mark
