Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
I've no idea, but I'm planning on building a new system with a Core 2 Duo to go with my new Digi002 Rack Factory (finally upgraded from an 001), so I'll let you know how it works. Probably in about a month. Maybe a lot sooner if these new chips are actually available at reasonable prices when they're supposed to be.

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
Hey guys, been lurking this thread for a while trying to come up with a good setup for small home studio comp. So far I have these parts put together, pretty much the old Allensten machine. I'd like to hear your comments on the setup. I'm pretty at a loss when it comes to gfx card, is the card that important? Also I want to keep my expenses down, where could I save money? - CPU, RAM, HD ?
Btw: I'm going to use this with MBox2 In advance thanks for your advice! /D MOTHERBOARD Asus A8N-SLI Premium Dual Core Motherboard CPU Athlon 64 4200+ Dual Core Processor RAM - 2GB RAM 1024MB DDR2 533MHz - KINGSTON x2 GFX CARD Help needed!

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
hi Darumar,
I've seen two points where you can earn a litel bit money: -your hard drive system, 5400rpm are enough -your ram could be generic, also cheaper... About a gfx card, i think it's not so important...digidesign recomand to work with 256 colors if you got some trouble shooting (my card cost 60 euro whit 2 output). What does your mobo ram speed support ? 533mhz ? not higer ? ...adapt your ram speed to the speed of your mobo's one...better performence. bye. |

And when it comes to Pro Tools (or any other area of computing), the number one rule is: Never, ever, evereverever buy cheap RAM. Low-grade, unstable RAM is the cause of more PC problems than you can possibly imagine, and it's even more of a mistake when you put it in a system that needs to run a complex, memory hungry audio tool like Pro Tools. My advice for Darumar (or anyone else right now) is: Wait for the Core 2's. Even if you're a rabid AMD fanboy and would never buy an Intel CPU, at least wait until the launch of Core 2 before buying your AMD CPU, because prices on pretty much every CPU out there are gonna go through the floor in about a week's time (the entire AMD X2 line will drop below $300). And if you're someone prone to listen to reason ...then buy a Core 2. The $330 Core 2 (E6600) can wipe the floor (in pretty much every single benchmark) with AMD's fastest, most expensive CPU (FX-62 @ $1100). There will literally be no reason to purchase an AMD processor in about a week... even the low end Core 2's (~$200) are still better than most of AMD's line. WATYF |

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
Sorry all, but I'm jumping for joy...
Just ordered my Quadzilla, exactly as suggested. Can't wait for the stability/power of this BEASTIE if it indeed is all you guys have been bragging about. I am putting together exactly what's on the first post on this thread, minus the DVD/CDRom. Any final suggestions on the build? Thanks for all the good reading. CharlieX |

Re: Best System for PTLE for under $1000.00
hey this is a great thread, i was in the process of purchasing a computer from tiger direct, and then i found the links you posted in the beginning..
anyway, i will be a pro tools M-powered user. Is it safe to assume that M-powered and PTLE have the same system requirements? |
