Hi,

 

Just found this forum -

I already have Windows XP and Fedora dual boot on my Dell Latitude D820.

So I have the ability to put OSX onto the laptop.

But I'd like to ask a couple of questions relating to OSX.

 

My main question is - putting OSX on my Dell D820.

Will OSX perform and be as stable as it were on an equivalent MAC laptop?

Once installed will my laptop essentially be a MAC?

I don't want to spend my time troubleshooting and bug hunting.

I already do that with Linux - which I'm happy to do - as constant development is what Linux is all about.

As for the MAC I want to use it as music machine that's incredibly stable

(As I've always heard MAC users proudly claim about the MAC OS.)

 

I'm a musician and I run the windows version of Reaper http://www.reaper.fm as my main audio program.

It's available for both windows & OSX.

 

Can I put on any peripherals i choose... e.g.

I want to use a professional sound card? as I intend to get an RME fireface 400

Or would I be better off just buying a MAC laptop?
