I'm in the process of updating a Cubase SX 3 system I use in addition to my
Paris system. I've been using Cubase on a laptop as a portable system but
need more power and am willing to go to a desktop. Which processor is prefered
at the moment AMD or Intel - I have also seem Via (I think that was the name).
If anyone can give me an idea of what speed chip (what setup they are using
- memory - processor) and an est. track count with a few verbs and compressors
it would help me greatly. I'm looking to get 32 or so - any and all sugestions
are welcomed. Thanks in advance!!

HI Rich,
The current Intel Core 2 Duo based system is the way to go now. The AMD
x2 series are good if you are one a budget. The AMD Am2 based series do
not perform any better than then X2 in the DAW world and have quite a
few chip set compatibility issues.

A Intel e6600 CPU will perform better than any AMD cpu up to the Dual
Cpu dual core opteron 265 series.

Most all of the current name brand 975 chip set based motherboard
already or will be soon supporting the new Quad-Core Core Duo CPUs.

If want to go for something that will be have a excellent upgrade path
then the Intel Core 2 Duo setup is the way to go. If you are on a budget
then the AMD X2 would be best.
