I've heard of Live synth pro having problems with dual core, and another 1,
can't remember now; also, I've heard of delta audio cards having problems
with streaming from a sata drive...

Subject: [ddots-l] new computer questions
Hi everybody. My laptop was repaired by Dell but it failed and it's as bad
as it was before. They won't replace the machine even though it's under
warranty. So, it'll be time for a desktop soon.
I have a processor question. Would it be better to go for a Pentium 4 3.6
or 3.8, or, a dual core Pentium D 2.8 processor?
Would I have any conflicts with Sonar or other software/plug ins with the
dual core option?
Also, I'm leaning towards 2 gigs of ram. Should I go even higher or can
that wait for down the road?
I'm also going to be sure to get a really good fan and a good power supply
etc.
I'm thinking of two on board serial arta 7200rpm 250 gig hard drives, I
already have an external 500gig for backup purposes.
This is primarily for music production work.
Any feedback would be helpful. It'll probably be a Dell as I can get
assistance with purchasing the machine but due to a state contract, they can
only buy from Dell.
I plan to do multi track audio as well as using virtual instruments and
samples etc so I need to be sure that my new machine can handle everything
comfortably.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I already have all of the software as well as the Tascam FW1884.
Thanks,
Cameron.
