I don't say this to dissuade you -- I'm a Mac lover. But I've put my hardware fiddling days behind me. To get the best (or worst) of both worlds, some people recommend the Hackintosh.

The inability to tweak wouldn't really bother me, I'd still have a few PCs sitting about the house to work at if I need to.

Recently my daughters Netbook was unable to boot so I wiped the hd & installed the netbook version of Ubuntu & even she thought it was a lot faster than Windows XP that was on it previously.

I've tried it on Linux & some days it would work great, others it would totally freeze & this was on a Ubuntu PC optimized for audio with a Real Time Kernel. Reaper does work great on Windows 7 64 bit, but I'm just not digging the OS at all. I'd love to be able to have Reaper running stable on Ubuntu but even if It did, I have a lot of VSTs that just don't work properly with Linux/Wine plus I also use Ableton Live & I'm pretty sure that doesn't run properly on Linux with Wine.

So there's one case where the AU work (albeit with a little glitch) and the VSTs don't.
Go figure…  |
I have Amplitube 3, AT Fender & Sampletank. So I'd have to run IK plugins as AU for them to work properly in Reaper?
