Pretty psyched, just plunked down the jack for a quad core, 2gb 800 ram, and
sata drive. I'm going to recycle one of my old cases. I'm planning on rigging
up Reaper. (Paris is going no where.) I'm hoping this will allow for a totally
ITB solution. I'll definately report on the track and vsti/vst counts once
I get it built and some projects rolling. It will really streamline my workflow,
well more like workdribble, but it should be a really sweet dribble :-)
Thanks all for the input and help on this. I can't wait to uncork the soda
buzz, and lego the thing together. Hmmm... overclocking...

Don't mess with overclocking... not worth it in terms of stress
& potential instability on your system, and you really
shouldn't need it these days - i'm running gazillions of tracks
at very heinous parameters (88.2k/24-bit) with lots of plugins
and yeah sometimes I have to freeze some tracks with certain
CPU-intensive plugins inserted, but i don't need to overclock
on an off-the-shelf Gateway dualcore (OS-Optimized, for a
dedicated DAW platform, of course), running CubaseSX.

agree... overclocking is not necessary and will generally mean odd
deliveries of bad news down the road.

Hi Mike,
Does this mean you're leaving PARIS behind, or is PARIS just staying in a
an older computer?
All the best,
Mike

Hey Mike
Oh no, Paris will definately remain. I still have a spare EDS card and spare
computers -just for Paris. I'll probably keep it's wheels spinning with
acoustic stuff, and stem mixing.

Thanks Aaron, and Neil
Yeah, I probably should avoid it... just get my kicks on the build.

But then you miss out on that special burning silicone smell and that nice
little crackling noise the components make whey they go to computer heaven!
