The CPU is a Pentium M 755, 2 GHz Dothan. 1 GB ram. I'm using an Indigo Echo stereo (two in/outputs) sound card or a RME Multiface when I need eight physical in/output + digital. Both are PCMCIS cardbus based. MIDI is handled by a USB MIDI link (on MIDI in + one MIDI out). That's totally glitch free and runs eight stereo tracks of as many loops I need. I have no other software installed on the pc except for Mobius and some other music application, just the plain XP service pack 2. No anti virus and I never bring it onto the internet. Like you I do most of my work in OS X on Macs (I also have a g4 pbook and a dual G5) and I think that if I should have gotten into Mobius today I wold have been looking for one of the new intel based Macs instead. It's just so boring to travel with the PC laptop and don't have access to my other fav tools like Logic, Metasynth, Numerology or Augustus Loop.
