Default Re: Thinking of building a new computer run PT 8 only

Check to see if your external or internal drive [Audio Drive]
Is not 5400 rpm drive.

those drives give these errors alot.
Make sure you use a 7200 rpm drive or faster,
Such as a VelociRaptor 10,000 rpm drive.

but a 7200 rpm should do it.

Also, make sure you are not using the same IRQ for the firewire on more than one hardware.

You also mention you are using a
Sony Vaio notebook with a core 2 duo CPU @ 2.10 Ghz per core Centrino
Check your setting in BIOS for Firewire settings.


And you can also try going AMD.

if you go AMD Phenom-II 940 and a UD4 gigabyte motherboard and Kingston DDR2,
it will sure keep you under 700 bucks.

But if your heart is set on Core-i7, then go for that.

Newegg.com is great for good prices.
