Hi.
I'm trying to decide between the MacBook and MacBook Pro. My biggest issue
is with the
FireWire bus. I'll be using a Metric Halo 2882 +dsp on the FireWire bus so
my only options for
external drive on the MacBook would be if it's daisy-chained to the sound
card or connected
through USB 2.0. I understand that the USB 2.0 is not implemented well
enough on Macs (it is
slower than FW400 on my PowerBook) and I'm wondering whether the FireWire
bus won't be
"too busy" with the Metric Halo box connected to it directly, to
perform well in situations
where the external hard drive is working "hard". Can anybody shed
more light on this?
Also, how important are the graphics card and video memory, in which the MB
Pro is
superiour, to someone who will only use his machine for Logic Pro and other
audio-only
applications?
