what do you mean by "performance"? i ask because i had heard that
the whole question of speed, touted in specs as "1.5Ghz" and so
forth, is different on each platform. i.e. a 1.5Ghz processor on an
IBM-compatible is not actually as fast or efficient as the same
"speed" on a mac. thus PCs (if we must call them that, because
apples are PCs too you know - wink wink) are always playing the
one-upmanship game with apple - "our computer is faster, look at the
specs!" but as any gearheads here who make music should know, specs
often blur the truth.
anyone know about this?
