OK, after a week of struggling and figuring how to get it to all work, IT IS DONE!
My specs: Windows 7 64 Ultimate, Intel i7 980X, Noctua NH-D14, Asus P6X58D Premium, Kingston HyperX 12 GB DDR 1600, GeForce 9800GT 1GB Silent, Intel X25-M 160GB SSD, 3) WD 1TB Black, Plextor PX-880SA, Seasonic X-750, Digi 003 w/ version 8.03cs2
Just did a verb test and at 64 samples, 58 to 60% CPU usage, I got 348 going for the required 5 minutes.
How do I add more? I have a CPU Usage gadget on my desktop and it was using all 12 cores.
My old quad rig would choke on 1/4 that much. I am more than pleased with this new build. I wonder how much better the official release will allow the system to run.
Well worth the time and money spent. I was contemplating upgrading to the HD with the offers right now but I don't think I need to for my usage although the ADC would be nice.
...he dances off to dreamland...
