Last years model is always extremely inexpensive. A 2 GHz centrino  
laptop will run eight tracks of audio loops well. But it may not be  
able to do it while also processing a lot of effect plug-ins.

Just don't install a lot of other software on the Windows XP machine  
and it will be fine. I had both Symantec Anti Virus and Ghost from  
the beginning, because I wanted to use the pc on the internet, but I  
finally had to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows XP Service Pack 2  
without any extra online update service from Microsoft and without  
the Anti Virus and Ghost stuff. This gave me a Mobius PC that boots  
up in a seconds and never crashes. What more do you need? Well, a Mac  
for the INternet - eventually ;-)
