I'm blowing out my rig here and installing everything new. In the next few
I'll be at SP1a. I've never put SP2 on my paris rig, never had a reason to
and things like firewall and DEP made me nervous.

I already have it back up and running with the required 3 displays, 2 EDS
cards, SBS 7 slot and a few PCI cards (USB, 1394, NIC, etc...). I want to
keep this build simple and to the point and put the UAD/VSTi thing of on
another machine so I'm more concerned about stability than things taking
away CPU time (xp1900+, Asus A7s333). The heavy lifting for virtuals will be
on the other box, yet to be built. Probably will also use a crossover cable
to feed tracks back and forth as necessary. Machine will not ever touch
internet.

I wanted to poll the group on one thing:
Has anyone found a reason that they -should- install Service Pack 2 to Paris
for?

Hi Aaron,
If you are going to be using it strictly as a Paris rig then you won't
need SP2. You may need to install Direct X 9.0c depending on the plug
ins you are using though.

I suspected as much. I have another more specific thing I'm looking at.
Looks like the SBS is a bust with the SiS chipset, so I need to optimize.
Time to try sumpthin new:

What do I need to connect 1394 between machines for transferring wav data?

HI Aaron,

If you already have firewire PCI card or have on board firewire then
these will work great.

external :

Internal:
http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg31_firewiresmarthots wapbay.htm

If you have networking enabled on you system the you could just share a
drive or folder between the two machines.

Hi Aaron,

My Paris rig (home project studio) is the same as I use for all my stuff
including email and known trusted interenet sites like banking. I put on
SP2 and no conflicts. I'm not considering Vista at this point in time. The
only problem I've had with XP since 2003 is the HP and I turn it off when
running Paris. Sorry, I'm so late with the post. Been busy. Have a great
new year. Wayne

Awesome dude, thanks for getting back to me. Did you encounter any snags
with SP2 DEP and Paris.exe, and what log in priv's do you log in with?
Happy New Year bro'
Thanks!

No snags what-so-ever on the install and you can uninstall it if you run
into problems. Not sure what DEP is. I was running 3.0 standard and now
3.0 w/o pace. No problems. I am the only user so I have administrator
rights and don't use any user switching or log in passwords. Have a great
new year. Wayne
