Help finding the right PC.

I'm in the research phase of finding my next PC solution. Desktop/Laptop? I would like 6 to 8 gigs of ram, 2.6 to 3.2 ghz processing speed, 7200 rpm 1 TB hard drive. This will be for a home studio running Sonar. It's tiresome reading through PC specs....any suggestions?

    Hi...For music production I'll go with a desktop. About the MB you should research for the newer one for ram, HD capacity as enough space for others hardware you might want to ad in the future. You can always use a laptop but you'll be limited on the amount of tracks you can work in the project. I'm not a pro but I know a desktop computer is more powerful than a laptop unless you pay a lot of money for an i7 laptop or equivalent. I hope my info help you some how.

    You will also want multiple hard drives.  It is wise to record your audio to a hard drive other than your system drive.  If you are a heavy samples user, having a third drive for samples is also helpful.
