I am going to buy a notebook, to use with a MultiFace.
I have two choices for more or less the same price:

1.-
Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz
FSB de 533Mhz, 512 Cache
Chipset Sis 645DX
512MB Memory Ram
HD 40 GB, DVD+CD-Recorder
NVidia Geoforce 4 Go 64Mb
TFT 15" (1024x768)
Módem, Network 10/100, TV out, IEE1394
4 USB High Speed 2.0
Flash Card Reader
2.95 Kg


2.-
Ahead Click 5600D
Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz
FSB 533Mhz, 512K Cache
Chipset Intel 845MP+ICH3M FC-PGA 478Pin DDR
512MB Memory Ram
HD 40 GB, DVD+CD-Recorder

TFT 15" (1400x1050)

I am not sure if the Sis 645DX Chipset is good for audio recording or not.
Could your please help me? I don't want to buy something wrong (too much
money).

Thanks a lot.

My money's on the Intel chipset.

Ditto on the Intel chipset. Good that you are considering a laptop that doesn't use shared memory for graphics processing either. Check out the RME Audio Web site's Technical Support section and you'll find a wealth of information on what to look for in a laptop to use with their Hammerfall DSP interfaces. The only other thing you need to investigate is whether the laptops you are considering use a Ricoh or Texas Instruments PCMCIA controller. RME Audio strongly recommends against using a laptop with a Ricoh PCMCIA controller. It just won't work.

I am going to buy an RME Multiface. I have already seen the RME Tech Info but it is not updated about new chipsets.
Thanks for the PCMCIA trick.

so Toshiba it is in my neighborhood.......
.....re Dell: my friend at work just ordered a Dell (also lauded on the RME site) & the speakers were delivered to him & he signed a paper...he's been waiting 10 days now as the paper he signed said he'd received the entire PC!....poor guy didn't read the fine print....waiting for the delivery guy to come clean (London (central), UK)....I say get over to the store & bargain instead of wasting time on delivery....toshiba, eh?...ok....I agree....I'm gettin the multiface also....
