I have been running an ASUS A8N-E Motherboard with an AMD FX-55 Processor and getting great results. I am able to record 16 tracks on my 002 with the playback buffer set at 64 samples, I can create a cue mix with reverb and monitor everything in real time. However my power supply died and took out my Mobo and processor so I am considering upgrading to a core 2 system but all the posts I find have their playback buffer set at 1024 samples. At one point I tried a dual core AMD Processor (X2 4200),(FX-55 is single core)and could not get the latency below 512 without errors, even with the dual core fix. How do the core 2 systems perform at 64 samples playback buffer. Please give me some feedback on this. I don't care so much about 300 d-verbs as I do about stable low latencies.

You should have no problems running the Core 2 Quads at any buffer speed you want, Your seeing 1024 a lot becuase thats the buffer setting for the Dverb test. These things are pumping our 280-290 Dverbs consistantly. The orginal Quadzillas were pumping out 175-180 with the faster later Opterons, Thats 100 Dverbs more. You not going to kind a faster single socket machine right now. Somewhere in the posts about a month back are some other Dverb posts at lower buffers and higher sample rates. Off the top of my head I think I got around 140 Dverbs at 64 but I can't remember for sure. Jamtime runs at 64 all the time I beleive.
