i5 2.4 ghz good enough for Logic Studio?

[xchokex]

Hey Guys,

last week I ordered my Macbook Pro with the 2.4 Ghz cpu and I was quite sure the cpu will do the application. But now I've read some threads about Logic Studio, where people say that Logic supports Hyperthreading and therefore I doubt that my macbook will last for the next years. Maybe a better cpu will last longer. The problem is that I cannot cancel my order anymore .

What do you think about the cpu's in reference to Logic and what would you do?

Thanks

Greetings choke

It will be absolutely fine. You have a laptop with a top of the range CPU inside it. The i7 will be quicker but the i5 is not going to be slow by any measures.

Yes, it Will be fine. Ive been runnig logic on a 2,4 GHz core2duo without Any problems

The Core i5 in the Macbook Pros supports hyperthreading. No worries.

i5 will be fine.

Sorry for hijacking your topic. But is a 13 inch 2.4 ghz MBP too slow for Logic 9?

It will work but when using it, constantly save if your surfing safari or doing anything else. You never know when it might lock up and you lose your work.

I run Logic Studio on my 2006 Macbook with a 2.0 CoreDUO... it runs okay. I'm sure any current Macbook Pro would absolutely smoke my laptop. You have nothing to worry about.

Definitely. I know tons of people who use similar spec'd macs for Logic.

No.



Don't worry too much about the CPU. If you're running into performance problems, it'll most likely be the HDD.

Wouldn't the ram have an effect in this?

Yes, but both machines come with 4gb standard, which should be okay for most users.
