AMD or Intel Processor
Question?
I'm looking for a second computer to work with the MP9 I just bought and I heard that AMD Processors are good but don't work so well for music. I want to know if that's true, because I am in a budget and need a computer. This is the processor that the computer has (AMD ATHLON II X2 B24). Thanks for the help!!!! |

Re: AMD or Intel Processor
Hi,
AMD processors are not officially supported, but there are people using them successfully with Pro Tools. I would personally save for an Intel-based machine. -Ian- |

Re: AMD or Intel Processor
Intel, or you're pretty much on your own for build help. It's worth the extra couple bucks.
I had a Phenom system for a while (from Rain, no less, a company that supposedly makes audio computers), and I swear it never quite ran Pro Tools as well as I wanted it to, despite my endless tweaking. YMMV as always.

Re: AMD or Intel Processor
I have been an AMD user since the "Pentium" days & have never had a problem running audio. I have PT MP9 heading my way as I type, so after I load it and run it for awhile & post back.
If it don't run on this system that has run Cubase, Samplitude, Mixcraft, KAE, and Reaper with no problems, then it is Pro Tools problem, NOT AMD's! |
