Max msp / Jitter in Mac Pro

I’ve been using max/MSP since my G3 days..

I’ve both used it on a VAIO laptop and a Mac Book Pro
(intel core 2 duo).
IMHO performance on mac book pro is 100 times better.

I had good performances on Win XP only on desktop machines fully loaded with RAM and very fast processors.
(the same performance I got on a G4 powerkbook laptop)

if you need to use it on a laptop I would suggest a mac book pro
but much depends on what you do with max…I use very complex patching and do also some Jitter
