I am looking to purchase a laptop that I want to use for live play back in fruity loops that I will control with a midi controller, I would like to be able to playback live in fruity loops with all the effects being rendered live (or at least as much as I can with no lag), my question is should I get a laptop with an 8 core processor, or just get a nice sound card instead, also one more question, if I had an 8 core processor would Fruity Loops be able to utilize most of the cores? Thanks.
