I am looking to buy a Mac in a couple of weeks primarily for writing music

However, I am considering installing something like MAMP and using that as
my development server too at which point I'm wondering whether I should
invest in a MacBook Pro or whether I can get away with the lower spec
MacBook.
So I guess what I'm asking is, does having Apache, MySQL & PHP installed on
a Mac use much system resources?
Hi Tom,
If you turn on your personal websharing on the Mac, you are running Apache, I believe PHP is preinstalled even on desktop Mac's, and MySQL is a simple download... I don't think running all of those for development would hurt any much more then running them on an actual server...
That being said, I've always had a server at my disposal so I've never needed to try and run it locally. But in theroy I don't think it would eat up any more resources on the local computer rather then on a server. Especially since OS X Server, is pretty much OS X Client with a few more GUI's :)
