Subject: what chipset for trance?
Original Message Date: 04-Jul-02 @ 04:12 PM - what chipset for trance?
so... i have an Echo Gina20 soundcard. would something like ASUS A7V333 and Athlon xp be ok, or is this a no-no because of Via KT chipset? Echo site says KT133 is ok, but this is a KT333 and i have no idea really... i actually hate pc´s, so please clue me in.
muchos gracias, M.

it means that my pc is almost 5 years old
suppose its about the time i upgraded eh?
might just go for a laptop this time... how fast are they nowadays? intel core duo? i'm still running prehistoric software mostly and none of those huge sample libraries and stuff.

Anyway, you can get a core duo laptop for £600 and I imagine that would be plenty fast enough.

that 1.8 M should do you ok tho, mebbe you dont need to upgrade... not just for the sake of it anyways, we still do all the film stuff on an old amd 2000xp

Anyway, like you said the old 1.8 still does the job (and my girlfriend would kill me if I bought another computer...

for the first time in my life i bought a bog-standard off the shelf pc, after a lenghty chat with the salesman to find out all i could about the components used, of course
-core2duo E6300 (1,86ghz)
-Intel mobo
-1gb RAM @ 533mhz
-250gb SATA Seagate Barracuda
-my old Edirol FA-101 firewire interface
happy to say it runs like a motherf...ker! logic tunes i could barely start on my old machine now use about 22-25% of CPU, and thats running at the lowest buffer setting, which is 104 samples!!! that should give me about 5ms latency for thru-the-box monitoring for f's sake!!! :D
oh yeah, its also quieter than my old machine!
ok, i'll say no more but i'm pretty blown away by this, and very very happy

mind you, these are all bog-standard components and you could have a better combo for the same money if you're prepared to build. i just decided to go for this one once i was convinced it will fulfill my needs. that and the fact that i realized i know nothing anymore about how pc's work nowadays.
