What sort of latencies are you getting at the moment? I'm surprised latency is a problem playing a synth module unless you are playing through a lot of plugin effects. Have you tried using ASIO direct monitoring or is that not possible with your setup? What effects are you using?
BTW, I'm sure you already know you need a digidesign or m-audio interface to use pro tools. If you already have this then I doubt you're going to see a massive difference plugging it into a mac, unless of course the mac is a great improvement on your existing PC.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

really my machine is now a server, I run countless stuff on it that it was never bought to do. Web cams streaming to the interent of my drive way and other such nonsense, The machine was never up to the job really. I use my laptop for most suff these days,
If I can dedicate a mac mini to the job then I can retire this old box and move the server stuff onto a windows home server thingy.
I recon I can build a shelf above my korg keyboard and plonk my dual monitors and mac mini on that, I have a m-audio already for the midi to the PC.
Then I just need to get benched and I will be as happy as a pig in tulip.Comment

So the problem is that your recorded MIDI is out of time?
Have you tried setting (or unsetting) the MIDI ports to "use system timestamp" in device setup? This has fixed the same problem for me in the past (i.e. where recorded midi is even more out of time than my hamfisted playing).
