RE: Laptops -dedicated to music only?

["Qua Veda" <qua@oregon.com>]

Hi,
This is what I expected,  I just thought I'd check to see.
I've been using a MacBookPro running WindowsXP in Parallels as part of a
pilot program at work. It occurred to me that if I bought my own 
MacBookPro,
perhaps personal stuff could be run in Windows(Parallels), and music stuff
on the MacOS.    But I think there would be a problem with memory 
allocation
etc so that you'd end up with neither OS taking full advantage of the
hardware.

Mine is music performance only as well, with the exception of accessing the
internet for software updates and a few key forums, like max/msp, etc. I
don't change anything with the settings, so my virus checkers, etc, are all
intact.

I did, however, optimize my configuration for music applications, it's on
Sweetwater's website and thier PC optimization guide.
