    I've got two mac pro's and I'm wondering which would perform better as the slave server and which would be better for my DAW (Digital Performer and sometimes Logic). 

    Both have 32GB of RAM. 1 SSD for the system and 1 for some samples. Large 7200 RPM drive for all other streaming. 

    Compter 1 Mid 2010 3.33 GHz 6-Core

    Compter 2 Mid 2010 2 x 2.4GHz Quad Core

     

    I plan on the DAW handling some libraries locally but the large majority of my samples will be coming via VE Pro and the slave machine. The DAW will handle some FX but I also intend to offload much of that to the slave as well. Thoughts?

    The Slave must be the most powerfull so for you : Mid 2010 3.33 GHz 6-Core
