You're Welcome. I have been dealing with APPLE/PC wars for years, Most musicians use Apple. Back in the day carrying around a Macintosh was far easier than a PC and the leaning curve was far less AND the MAC was better at many tasks. Thats said they still nearly crashed and burned. I believe the Ipod saved them and since they have de-prioritized their hardware they now have captured a whopping 10% of the PC market. Vista is helping as well.

The MAC is a fine machine.I said I would get one myself to try if not for the lack of software I use available. (IF I could repair it with common parts)

You have a strong machine, I installed the Q6660 processor as it was the "sweetspot" at the time. I do not have the 64 bit version of XP although I have the 64 bit version of Sonar. I'm standing pat for now to see what Windows 7 brings,,

Mac Pro is $2300 for a quad-core 2.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive, Radeon 2600XT, and a SuperDrive.
You have a much more powerful machine and
I have a much more powerful machine with two 320 SATA drives and 4 GB, overclocked for a total of $700. That's a savings of a Korg M3M!!!LOL

Don't fret DIKI. I have run into a lot of them in this world.
