OK, so I've decided to switch my mixing rig from Mac to XP - I want
more power and available stuff than the OS9 boot limitations will
allow me. (Still using a G4 for the live tracking rig, though. I
know for a fact that I can record 16 tracks for 2 hours straight with
no burps - I trust that.)
I was toying with building a pc for that, when suddenly I'm faced with
two free Dell P4 boxen.
Free is good.
I'm going to use one, and set one up for a friend as a household
computer - so, I need advice on which would be better for Paris.
One is a Dimension 4400 - P4 2GHZ, 512 cache, 400MHz FSB
The other is an Optiplex 260GX - same chip.
Both are full-sized towers.
So, essentially, I have to choose between the Dimension, which is
aimed for the home market, and the Optiplex, which is aimed at the
business market.
Suggestions?
