Hi all remaining users,

I have opted to have Chris Ludwig build what will be most assuredly
the fastest and last Paris computer for myself. It will operate both Paris
3.0
and Cubase 4.2 in XP Pro synced by SMPTE to MTC.
This comp should be delivered within the next two weeks but has been
bench tested already and is working as Chris and I had hoped.

Hardware installed:
13 slot Magma with 5 EDS
1 UAD PCI or PCIe
1 Creamware Pro
1 M-Audio 8/8 MIDI Patchbay

Computer:
Intel Core2 Quad Q9450 overclocked to 2.8
Mobo with 3 PCI, 3 PCIe slots, 1 PCI 16x, FSB 3333
4 Gigs RAM
GeForce 8600 GT 512 Meg dual head
2 x SATA 2 32Meg cache 500 Gig drives for audio and sample sets
1 SATA 2 160 Gig 8 Meg cache for OS

Chris has done serious work in getting the C-16 to behave normally
and getting 4 gig RAM to show up with major league DAW tweaking.
From what I've read this comp will be four times as fast as my existing
AMD 4800+ DualCore . . . Enough said.

It appears that PCI slots are going to be extinct in the next 12 months or
so.
ADK have boxes of their own to accommodate our needs other than a Magma.
If you want the bestest, fastest most stable PC ever built for Paris and
maybe
even your other DAW of choice I'd suggest you get on over to Chris at ADK.
Did I mention the comp came in at $2,000? Not bad at all in my opinion.

I will be posting as I start setting up the system here. There's no rush
for me
so I will walk you through it and ask a few questions along the way I'm
sure.

Carry on,
Tom

Wow! Sounds like quite a beast. What's the MoBo? Since its OCed, I'm
guessing its not an Intel. Anxious to hear how it performs with PARIS.
