Not a big problem - it's the combination of the RIGHT components that makes
all the difference - sometimes the more expensive thing will be worse than
the cheaper one...

Best thing is to go to the website and check this out...

Giga is the way to go!

Well, lots of people use GS on a machine as a tone bank and sequence on a
second PC. There is talk of a new version coming out so this also might
change.
The cost would be fairly close to whatever you could purchase the Dell
equivalent for - the disadvantage is that you would not get bundled
software, the advantage would be the components would be hand picked and
tested to work with the exact programs you will be using. When you get
close financially let me know and I can spec. it out exactly for you -
computer parts prices fluctuate like the stock market -
