Re: The Allenstein Quadzilla Machine
Hi,
thanks, I'll try that out again. I downloaded that (I think) from Tyan, it contained to setups, one for TMS ans one for TMC, but in all readme's it didn't list the S2927 and, when I tried it briefly it said, cannot read data ... I'll give it another more thorough try. Cheers, - J * Update * you can download TSM 2.24 from http://www.tyan.de/archive/support/h...utilities.html and after this you can install patch 2.24 from same website. This should work with S2927. CPU temperature should be OK, if it will not be higher then 70°C. If you have more then 70°C, then you should think about how to improve the cooling. Above 90°C you should switch off quickly.

Re: The Allenstein Quadzilla Machine
Hi Guys:
ALright, so Im trying to get together all of the components to build me a quadzilla. I just cant seem to get my hand on the power supply (OCZ PowerStream OCZ520ADJSLI ATX, BTX, EPS12V 520W Power Supply) Also guys, can I fit 4 Western Digital Raptor 10,000RPM drives on the Asus K8N DL?

Re: Allenstein OctaPC and Quadzilla Machine *update*
Hi,
I'm a newbie here considering building a "Quadzilla" myself or going with a professional solution such as pcAudio's custom DAWs. Just for grins, I put together a pcAudio rack mounted 8 core system (see below). Can someone in the DUC give me an estimate as to the PTLE performance benchmarks one might expect with such a system. Thanks....

Re: The Allenstein Quadzilla Machine
Hi rockinrude,
Looks like you're running both PT and audio from your system drive. You really need a dedicated hard drive for your audio. Dave

Re: The Allenstein Quadzilla Machine
Hi all, just built a quad and wanted to post some interesting results from initial dverb tests. My quad is as follows:
Tyan S2927 dual socket F 2x Opteron 2212 2.0 GHz w/ Zalman AM2 coolers, Arctic Silver 5 4x Kingston 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM ECC Registered 667 XFX 7600GS 256MB dual DVI Seagate Barracuda ES 320 SATA Samsung DVD-RW SATA NEC black floppy Antec Titan 550 case w/ 550w TruePower PSU So here's the interesting part. I did the first dverb test with an Mbox 2 Pro, and was able to get 155 dverbs (31 tracks w/ 5 dverbs each), recorded 5+ min. I wanted to compare with an old Mbox1, thinking I would get a similar discrepancy as what Phobia saw above, like 6 or 7 dverbs less. But instead I was only able to get 137 dverbs (27 tracks w/ 5 dverbs each, 2 dverbs on track 28). Then I realized that Phobia's results were with Opteron 2214's at 2.2 GHz !! I was almost able to match his 002 on dual 2214 results with Mbox 2 Pro on dual 2212! So, my theory is that maybe the driver for the Mbox 2 Pro (and possibly the 003) results in more dverb capability than the 002. Not sure. I need to borrow a 002 to compare with the Mbox 2 Pro on the same system. Suffice it to say, I'm quite pleased with the performance on dual 2212's. EDIT: got 2 more dverbs on the Mbox1 by using a different USB port. |

Re: The Allenstein Quadzilla Machine
Hi guitardom
at the moment i use BIOS Version 1009, could tht be problem, should i downgrade it to 1008?(theres also Version 1010 available...). I used the Driver from the CD since i read that there where problems with the Tyanboard and the drivers, didn't read that about the Asusboard... on the net i found the following drivers: ForceWare_8421_WHQL_Certified nForce4_AMD_Edition_WHQL_Certified K8NDL1008 are these the right ones? should i install XP new and format the HD new? thanks for such qick help to all og you this forum is great!
