Does the 1.8 vs. 2.0 GHz make a huge difference?
Friday, November 21, 2008 / Hardware, Intel Macs
Does the 1.8 vs. 2.0 GHz make a huge difference? I strictly want to run an audio program and not much else.
The 0.2 GHz difference between the 1.8 and 2.0 GHz Mac computer Intel processors is not overly significant for Audio tools. The more important consideration is with regards to whether it is a Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor. The newer Core 2 processors support 64-bit processing and have better efficiencies.
If you are thinking about a used Apple G5 system, then either the 1.8 or 2.0 GHz processor would be good choices. The main thing to do is make sure that Pro Tools supports the hardware on the Operating System you are looking at.
