i'm buying a Dell inspiron 6000..i'm getting the following specs:
Intel® Pentium® M740 (1.73GHz 2MB L2cache 533MHz FSB
1 GB 533mhz DDR2 SDRAM
I can't decide whether its worth it going for a 7200tpm hard disk since its around a $100 more for it..should i instead use this $100 for a 1.86GHz processer? which is more important for making music? thanks for the help..

processor clock cycle is not everything, the overall performance is greatly affected by other factors too. i'd go for a 7200rpm disk or even 10k if possible.
is it necessary for you to buy a laptop for making music? it's not the best choice for workstation-ish performance.
good luck! |

so that means i should spend the extra money on buying a faster hard-disk?
i'm just wondering what will help me more in getting that lil extra performance out of my laptop..my old laptop was a p4 3.0ghz with 1gb of ram but it just used to go haywire when i made music on it for a couple of hours..it would turn into a blow-drier!
as for why it has to be a laptop for making music..its coz i'm going to hotel school and can't afford to buy an extra desktop just for making music!

5400 or 7200 does make a huge difference.
Go for the 7200. |

actually it is the other way around .
ANd yes pretty much everyone in here thought that it would still be worth.
0.13 Hrz more for the cpu instead wouldnt make any notable difference.
