A few months ago I promised to get back with the details of my new PARIS setup, so here it is:
-----------------------------
Dual Six-Core Opteron 2.2GHz
Supermicro H8DA8-2 mobo
8GB RAM
Promise SuperTrak EX8650 8 channel RAID
Two Firewire800 cards
Two Acer touchscreens
UAD2-Quad
TC Powercore 6000
VirtuaVia expansion chassis with 4 EDS-1000 cards, 2 MECs
RME Fireface 800
Native KORE 2
Novation Remote Zero SL
ESI M8U XL MIDI Interface
Win Xp Pro 32 bit
Win 7 64 bit
Cubase 5
Native Komplete 5, Komplete 6
-----------------------------
I never had to struggle so hard for such a long time to get a PC working reliably.
I started with a Tyan mobo and everything looked fine until I installed Win 7 64 bit, when an endless nightmare of untraceable random BSODs started. It took weeks of tireless investigation to finally surrender and get the Supermicro mobo (for another 400$).
With the exception of some minor glitches during the configurations it finally works really nicely now.
So, if anyone has plans to set up a new machine for W7 64 bit, these components seem to like each other.
So, what's the missing link in this system? Yes, it's the 64 bit Scherzo driver, of course... Mike, could we fast wind to Christmas now?
