are actually cheaper, but I've noticed a lot of people in this group are
using Athlons. I think I read that one gig of ram is enough for XP. Does the
speed of the ram matter much. Also, are there any motherboard considerations
other than many PCI slots. I'm trying to upgrade and want to keep the cost
down. I've got a two card system with one UAD-1 card. I'm not rigging it to
any other machines or midi or anything.

Suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the plug and it sounds convincing for that particular drum sound�
squashed to hell and severely band limited. Not bad for free.

The new version of Stylus RMX comes with a similar effect that has much more
tweekability (Word?).

Put �Tape Slammer� in an insert. Start with the preset �SSL talkback Mic
Comp� (which is very over done). Turn Saturate down to about 4, Threshold
down to about 8 and turn up the gain a little. This will get you close to
the real SSL sound and give you lots of options.
GeneIve got mine running at 1280x1024

Not only a TV - its also designed to be a monitor.

From what you wrote, I'm assuming you're using a 32" Olevia Flat-Screen LCD
display with an Apple computer that has a video card providing a DVI connection
to the LCD, correct? I went to the Website you recommended--that is a terrific
price for a 32" screen!. I also went to

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI
to study up a bit on the DVI-LCD combo and indeed read that "computers with
DVI video connectors can use many DVI-equipped HDTV sets as display." It
also said that "the vast majority [of LCD screens] are no longer just for
TV and HDTV (DVB). They can also be used as a computer monitor with a VGA/DVI
signal, although resolution support can vary widely." My concern is "support."
I thought, perhaps mistakenly, that no matter what display you use, you have
to have some software (delivered via CD) to coordinate the computer output
with the display. I've also assumed that that support comes with the display.
Did the Olevia come with software specifically designed to work with an Apple
computer? Regardless of the answer to that question, do you feel that the
Olevia is producing a high-quality image? In addition, to working in Paris
I do a lot of writing, so the display's ability to produce crisp, clear text
(which I've been told is the real test of a display) is very important to
me. Does the Olevia pass that test? Also, is it your opinion that the Olevia
is better than most other LCD screens, or are they all roughly equivalent?
Sorry for asking so many questions. Many thanks!
