Can someone PLEASE post their system components

[vudoo]

I'm putting together a fast PC for Protools8 HD3 ( PCI ). I spent the last 2-3 hours going through all the posts.
If one of you is kind enough to post the complete configuration of your machine, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I use a Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro. It works great and will work with an HD 4 system. I use an GeForce 7600 video card. Any hard drive and compatible ram. Make sure the case is big and well ventilated. HD cards are hot and big. Let me know if I'm forgetting anything.
Best,
Brandon

Thanks Brandonx1,

I can't find your Asus board anywhere, is it discontinued ??? where did you buy it ?? Thanks

[Brandonx1]

I've used it for a couple of years now. It's probably discontinued. Wow, I hope this board keeps working. I need a back up.

[Brandonx1]

I just checked. I found it for sale by a couple of venders for a lot of money. I bought the one I use for 180. I'm seeing 300+ dollars. Wow. I think Gigabyte makes a 5 PCIx slot MB.

Hi Brandonx1,

What slot did you put your core card in, and which way did you put your TDM Flex cables A to B from Core to Accel or B to A ?
I think the Flex cable installation note says the latter but i want to see if people are doing anything different to me.

I have the 5 PCI slot gigabyte board that just isnt working for me with a HD2 Accel with an extra Process card and i cant get a pass on digitest.

I also have the Asus board you have (but its the non Pro version that doesnt support Core2 Chips so il be stuck with an intel 3.4 extreme Pentium D)
So i might have to use that if i cnt ever get the gigabyte to work.

Thanks !

Core B to Accel A. I think that's the only way you can connect them and have PT work.

thanks, yeah its true, should always be B to A i got confuse after looking at different slot orders etc, thanks

You can get a Dell T7400 for pretty cheap off the Dell refurb site and it's digi approved for HD. It's nice to not have to worry about your configuration.
