you're setup looks really good, quite inline with what I have in mind too.

I'm just waiting for that penryn cpu to get out, & then I plan on buying the 2.8ghz version.
On the motherboard I like the ASUS P5KC which is pretty much the same as that Gigabyte mb you're talking about, also accepct DDR2&3 ...

ok thanks

i'll keep that in mind

great
tx for the help

actually I will have nothing installed as it will be a new comp and I plan on formatting the new harddrives before I even start.

cheers

tx man I read good things about them too, seems like they could be a go for me

Hey guys,

do you think it's possible to dualboot a vista 64 bits for crap games and other kind of work and a XP 32 bits for music production, on the same machine?

thanks for advice.

imagine you go for a 64bit OS, will there be any problem installing former VST' that were on your 32bit XP?

thanks

What I'm now struggelign with a bit is that RAM thingie.

If I go for such pc with a motherboard with a FSB of 1333mhz, would there be an advantage of using 1333Mhz RAM and not 667mhz RAM?

Most people say no, but then I wonder why some guys would pay more just to have 1333mhz RAM...



and last but ...

Adams A7 anyone?

I'm curious and would like to kow how good/bad they are...

lol been looking for that as well

i dunno actually, just don't want to get out of power lol

true, I need a quiet stuff

thanks man, and you know what that's exactly what I've been doing the last hour.


and my first try is roughly:
- quad core Q6600
- Asustek P5KC (P35 express)
- 2*2gb of RAM TWIN2-8500 FSB1066
- 2*750gb HDD hitachi with 32mb of Cache, SATA II
- albatros gforce 8800 640mb
- 850 power supply
- 85 ...

sounds right indeed

I remember hating XP when it got released (poor me, how could I like WinME more lol)

Nut yeah, after some years it got to a good state.
I'm sure it'll be the same with VISTA, I wouldn't expect another OS from them, they'll stick to that one and fix the issues (the never ending ...

true

my mistake on the RAM.

I'd just like to have DX10 though, nothing to do with music production but I use pc's for more than one thing

Here in UK about 6 months ago apple had this poster campaign displaying a geeky office worker with a slogan "windows is a little hard to set up", and this casual dude with a slogan "apple works right out of the box". Made me laugh, how desbrate can apple be.

Truth is windows is more DIY so ...

I think you're right, however I hope to switch to VISTA (if I go for the PC world of course) as XP wil soon bcome obsolete, certainly on new hardware like a quad core with maybe more than 2gb's of RAM.

I don't want to remain on a old version of windows for too long, true I don't need VISTA for ...
