Ok, so why do you expect some one to do this? Most of us are not genius. I 
do not think anyone is saying bigger is better, but how much 
responsability are you taking for your own need? How much learning have 
you put into your needs? How much study and learning did the original 
author of the above quote put into his life that he was able to make this 
connection? How much time and energy are you asking soomeone else to put 
into something that fits you exactly? With OSx, you pay someone to do 
that, with Linux, the download is the only cost, but you may need to do 
some setup. PCs are not made for low latency audio out of the box. Mac 
computers are supposed to be, it is at least a consideration in the 
design. With a PC the builder needs to choose what goes in their PC and 
how they connect things and what sw they use and how it fits together 
carefully if they wish to get similar results... nothing is free, you must 
choose if you will pay in money or time, I guess. The more optimization, 
the more time required. Most of us are looking for low latency performance 
first... and often never get to size of install. We only have so much 
time.
