I have one gig. RAM is cheap, might as well throw as much of it at your
system as you can.

Hi
I'm now 1 small step from getting a laptop for music applications
(mainly live csound, but also some sequencer (muse?), some soft synths
(csound/PD), some sample playback + maybe HD-recording.
I'm looking at 2 machines
a)P4 2.4Ghz, 256Mb RAM, 20Gb HD, 1400x1050
b)P4 2.66Ghz, 512Mb RAM, 40Gb HD, 1024x768
Since I'm comming from AMD K6-300, 256Mb RAM, 8Gb HD, I cannot judge if
a) is gonna be too small for my use? Every salesperson will tell you
that you *have* to have 512Mb RAM, since they're assuming you're running
WinXP, how true is this with linux. I don't see the smaller HD as a big
problem, although the bigger the better...
Any thoughts are appreciated.
