Sorry I am late on this reply, but I haven't been visiting as much lately...
Anyway, I have been using win 2000 with Paris since 2001. I started out
with a dual PIII and was one of the few reporting to Brian T that it is working
and is solid for me. Around 2004 I moved to a Pent 4 and have been using
it since. I own and operate many computers and my past experience is XP
is great for video and Internet... for audio/paris, 2000. Why? XP is so
bloated with crap. It runs so many devices and services to have a solid paris
system. Yes I tried XP many times! You can tweak XP by shutting off some
services and stuff, but honestly, there are some services that would make
XP worthless if you shut them off, but hinder audio tracking (esp. many track)
in Paris. I have seen more BSOD with XP than with 2000 when using Paris.
I have reported so many times on here that I successfully use win 2000 since
2001, but always come back months/years later to see some of the SAME folks
saying Win 2000 isn't good or doesn't work that they know of. Whatever!
If the history of this forum is still here, do a search!
Do I still have issues? Yes! Who doesn't with Paris and it's many flaws.
Do I feel my system is stable? Yes! Way back when, when Brian T. was kinda
surveying on setups, good/bad, motherboard, etc. I watched and listened.
I don't remember what motherboard I have (I am at work), but I stayed away
from the old non-traditionals (ie. VIA over the other choices).
A word of advice in which I make as a rule... after you get Win 2000 installed
and tweaked (worthless services shut off)... all the drivers loaded (yes,
use the Paris XP drivers)... make a ghost copy of your hard drive. If something
happens as time progresses that screws up your system (and it has happened
a few times), you can restore and have your stable system back within minutes.
Never keep audio or important things on the main drive! Use a small 20
or 40 GB fast drive for the main drive and don't use huge drive as the main!
Besides having other issues, I haven't had to restore my drive for quite
a few years, but I keep a print-out of a log of steps that created the stable
setup. MyParisFaq.com I think still hold a good routine for setup of Paris.
So the answer is... yes, win 2000 is great for Paris. Yes, use the xp drivers...
Find a Pent 4 motherboard with VIA chipset and a brand name like ASUS...
most work just dandy! Keep the main drive small. Follow the instructions
for tweaking on myparisfaq.com and you won't be sorry!
Lastly, I'll be honest that my studio is not RCA or Sony and my track counts
average under 16 for most songs... perhaps that is why win 2000 has been
successful for me... but I do know that with my experience in both 2000 and
XP, be prepared for lots of restores and issues when using XP. Even on small
track counts!
"Let the music continue"!!!! My 2 cents...
