Actually, I'm not sure it is. I have my old Vista installation still on the laptop, and it doesn't bluescreen but I get a message after 20 minutes of using Jplay in hibernate that "Windows has encountered an error and has to shut down"!
I used to use this laptop for band practice, powering soft synths (it's still pretty adequate, Core2Duo 2.4ghz, 6 gigs ram). It seems to have developed a slightly flaky USB connection. USB and mobos are a bit sensitive - once I had a flaky mouse cord I had to jiggle to connect right (think a bad headphone cord) and I shorted out the front ports on my old desktop.
A PC audio build would be more powerful, but be about the same price as a Mac Mini, which is trendy and might have better audio, which is why I'm asking.
