PC or MAC....Laptops at 10GBs...ESATA ports at 2.5GBs...
Some of you might be asking why.... PC versus MAC... Sonar doesn't run on MAC.... I will have another post soon dealing with that issue and how to install Sonar on a MAC with purchase of windows OS to install on your MAC and how and if you can.
I have heard a lot of people say PC versus MAC but at this point... old technology aside... they both reach the same performance rates overall if they are fine tuned.
That said... one thing I want to bring up is Intels new technology that pushes motherboard buss Speed Up TO 10GBs... however it is in agreement with....
APPLE folks
Thats right... INTEL signed with APPLE.....so in the FUTURE.. thinking future here... MAC is going to sweap until the technology is opened up to PC makers. This chip is going to be on every MAC by 2012.... just think a consumer fiber port... that means consumer light speed peeps...to your 3rd party .... interface???!!!... or new keyboard... or Real Time Monitoring of Virtual Synths! :)
Link.. (just because I am nice folks):
http://techresearch.intel.com/articles/None/1813.htm This means you can open the new technology of interfaces up to a new light (No punn intended...thinking about latency here too!)
So that's my thoughts on that issue.
How about these new ESATA laptop cards?????!!!!!!! Neat or not?
http://www.amazon.com/GoHardDrive-2-port-Controller-ExpressCard-Adapter/dp/B001O8BPAG Wow up to 2.5GBs with the right card and using a laptop buss connected ditectly to the motherboard.......... this is starting to really speed things up in the laptop external hard drive area... or future controllers??!!!... sample samples and more at lightning speed... on a laptop?!!!!!!!!!!
So where are the audio manafactures with there Intel consumer fiber outputs or ESATA 2.5GBs outputs???!!!
I heard of a new OS that is coming out of Japan i think... I have just heard on this one.... no hard evidence to present.... that is suppose to drown both windows and MAC in processing and multitasking... Has anyone else seen or hear about that?
What have you seen?
