Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
All the attention is on 9 and 10 these days, I guess. :o
Probably, if you can find one. The chipset is better known to be compatible.

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
+1. Very handy to be able to get back to your old system for various things. E.g., many companies haven't written drivers for Win7x64 yet. I have to boot into XP to print/scan with a Dell unit...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
No, probably better off with the Quad. I picked up my Q9550 on ebay (new) for $170 last year. I wouldn't be too surprised if you could get that or better for the same money if you poke around.

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
Possible bottleneck with the relatively small L2 Cache. Try to find one with 8MB or more, if you can. I mean, it'll work, but it could be a performance choke point. PT apparently loves L2 cache.

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
That's the exact one I got, and I love it!. I'm running Win7x64 on it. It never had it so good. I kept my XP partition for retrieval/salvage operations, and when I boot to it, I feel like I'm...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
Yep. The code it's built on was initially developed not only a long time ago (early 1990s) but also for Motorola only. Intel compatibility didn't come along for several years. On the plus side,...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
Ah. Well, not the best places to buy a laptop for a DAW, either. Walk into Best Buy and ask for an external firewire hard drive with an Oxford chipset and see what response you get. And Walmart? ...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
Bosh. Anyone who goes to Best Buy or Walmart to by a computer to run a DAW hasn't done his homework to start with. Buy the parts at Newegg, and XP at CompUSA. When I bought XP last month, the one...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
I'm super happy. I did a big audio-only mix, not a hiccup. Then I did a little MIDI session, and at first I thought I had the play-pause plague. But then I remembered, I hadn't even done the...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
Placed the order. All from Newegg except the CPU from a reputable ebay seller. NIB Q9550 for only $30 more than the Q6600 I was going to get. :-) ::rubbing hands together:: After reading stuff...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
Thanks, Mano. Yeah, the i7s are a little out of reach. I'm tempted by the 9550 - 12 MB of L2 and all. But $100 extra bucks, IDK. Especially since the 6600 has proven itself to be so perfectly...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs
And - hey! This is weird. Some Q6600s have a part number starting with BX, while others start with HH. The HH ones seem to be more highly valued. What the heck's the dang deal?
