Thanks, that's the page I found before that led me to believe most of the machines had two slots and it was pretty easy to put memory in and out. I wanted to comfirm here that I had that right and wasn't missing something obvious. Good job I did come here as your point about it coming with...

Two banks of four you say! Perhaps I did need reminding this is a football forum after all :lol: Good point! If I find it's two 4gb then it would be false economy to start shuffling that around. Are you confirming then that it's two slots, no less no more, I'd have to work with?

Yeah yeah, of course you're sorry. :lol: Just rubbing it in that forking out the princely sum of £90 will have you sorted. We're still on Vista in this household in the main and it works fine for us. I have no intention of getting anything else by Apple if I don't have to, but not a lot of...

Ok, having done research thanks to everyone on here, listened to all the advice, and finally decided on what's going to be the best option all round, we'll be opting for a macbook pro. We'd get the 15 inch as she'd probably rarely hook it up to a bigger monitor and it'll be easier to handle and...

In a word - Logic. You could probably get through a Music Composition degree course without access to Logic at home, but it wouldn't half make life a lot simpler to have Logic at home as well as Sibelius and Pro Tools. All the Colleges and Universities use Logic, as well as the other two, so...

Thanks all, some really great info for me to look into now. I better stop quoting back individual posts now as that could go on forever. As ever NSC has delivered! I knew I was right to ask here for the best advice :thumbsup: I'm now set on a journey with this thread and learning all about...

Yeah, realise that Pro Tools would also work on PC. Didn't realise about Soundtrack Pro though. She currently does everything on Sibelius, but it's a bit limiting in terms of sound although great for writing scores. Logic is the deal breaker that means an Apple is definitely required.

Thanks, Bold :thumbsup: It's the £1200 that has me going Ouch! I could get a lovely bike for that :lol:

Loving this post :lol: By the time you got to "plugs straight into the sub slot" I was completely lost :dunce: Thanks anyway, again, I will be looking right into all advice given here and trying to make some sense of it, so it's all very much appreciated.

Having had a brief look at these 'imac' thnigs, I'm still a bit confused. I see just a screen in the adverts, but a description of 'all in one'. So stupid questions of the day: 1) Does this include a keyboard and mouse? 2) What about the tower part of the set up? 3) What about a disc drive...

Thanks, our is also uni-bound, God willing, and it's very definitely an educational purchase. I'll look into that.

Nice one Bozza, was hoping you'd be first on the case seeing as you're the known Apple man here :thumbsup: Actually, she has a laptop now but a tower would be fine as she'll only need it for working from home/Uni really. I also, mistakenly it seems, thought I'd get better value there, but it...

Here's hoping the font of all wisdom that is NSC can be of assistance. Having never personally owned an Apple device of any description, and having no intention of ever doing so, we now need to buy one for our eldest. She needs to work with some programs that only Apple do, so her PC will need...
