So I purchased a Apogee Symphony I/O and I'd like to get a Mac Book pro and the Thunderbridge to get the best performance out of the Symphony that I can afford. I'm trying to save for school so I'm trying to a be a little tighter with my money. I'm stuck between the 13" 2.6GHz Duo Core and the 15" 2.4GHz Quad Core. I'm by far a computer geek, I know that Quad Core is better than Duo Core, I'm assuming that 2.6 GHz is better than 2.4 GHz. Does the 2.6 GHz compensate a great deal for not having the Quad Core? This compueter will pretty much only be a School/Recording laptop.
I bought the 16 analog in / 16 analog out and the 8 channel preamp module. Will the duo core be able to handle this?
For the extra $500 am I getting a waaayyyyy better computer?
Thanks a bunch,
Dylan
