Who all is running Quad here?
I just loaded my new pc up with WinXP, SP1. From BIOS boot/disk insert to
Windows installed welcome screen took 16 minutes. Can a get a Fresh Prince
ShaLamm! Updates and whatnot's coming (it'll be on the net), but I'm looking
for what to expect in the way of latency, plugs and track counts. SATA 250GB
system and 400GB data, 2 GB RAM. This machine will be my 'everyday' box,
streaming movies, music and handling most of my song building. I'll mix
elsewhere, but this little dude is the workhorse for building/virtual synths
and schlepping video render stuff when I have time for that.
Has anyone noted a major change from single or dual core tech to Quad core
in regards to latency in native rigs?
Any great audio or video rendering benchmarks out there to try? Keep in
mind, I'm using onboard Intel Graphics 8 (yuk) MB shared, so I'm not trying
to test the video card, only rendering capability.
