Thanks for that, gives me some good rerference material. when i see dual core @ 2.0 ghz though that seems weak. i've been building 2500k's @ 4500mhz quad.

Yeah, with a quad core you won't have to worry about limitations. I used 2.0GHz Dual Core mac book late 2007 model with only 1GB of ram FSB 667MHz, in school and I could run Pro Tools LE 7.3 on medium audio buffer with Reason 3.0 rewired into Pro Tools, and Guitar Rig 2.0 simultaneously.
