I read somewhere that Pro Tools 7.0+ something was quad core optimized. Someone will probably be along shortly to confirm that, but if you're using the Q6600, you should probably upgrade your software.
Also, thanks for the heads up, Mykhal. |

System specs
Hay all.
Below is a system overview of my new built Pro tools rig. I did go through the Bios settup on page one. But I noticed the memory is running at 800 instead of 1066. Might have missed something in setup ? I have not made any software tweaks yet except for updating drivers and critical windows updates. Will be doing more tweaks, but I just wanted to let you take a look at the overview at this stage. ***** Start of Report ***** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <<< Computer Overview >>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- < System > Host Name: YOURSOUN-715AF1 User: Bud Workgroup: STUDIO 1 < Processor > Model: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz Speed: 2.40GHz Cores per Processor: 4 Unit(s) Threads per Core: 1 Unit(s) Type: Quad-Core Internal Data Cache: 4x 32kB, Synchronous, Write-Thru, 8-way, 64 byte line size L2 On-board Cache: 2x 4MB, ECC, Synchronous, ATC, 16-way, 64 byte line size, 2 threads sharing < System > System: System manufacturer P5K-E Mainboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC.

Sorry about the format above.
It didn't look that way on the original report "BUD" |

I got CPU-Z and these are the readings: Cpu speed: 2400.6 Multiplier: X9 Buss: 266 Rated FSB: 1066 Memory tab DRAM Freq: 400mhz FSB: 2:3 Timings: 5-5-5-18 Here is the P5k MB link: http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...37&modelmenu=1 Are you using the Asus AI Suite for doing your overclocking or going into the Bios. Are there setting in AI Suite that would trump (override) the Bios settings? I tried setting my timings to 4-4-4-12 in Bios and leaving it on Manual, but when I re-boot and check (with CPUZ) it's running at 5-5-5-18. Anyone using AI Suite to overclock? Would you recommended it?

Yes, I'm going into Bios and set the timings to MANUAL, then enter timings of 4-4-4-12, then save and exit. Start CPUZ and the timings say it is at 5-5-5-12. So I re-boot again, go into Bios, and timing function is "re-set" from Manual to AUTO Again, I set the Bios timing settings to Manual, and when I reboot and go into Bios again the timing setting is on AUTO. ???? I'm confused too! That's why I'm asking about the Suite, because there are OC settings in Suite, and I thought it might be overriding the Bios setting.

okay, my turn...
It's time to unload the old 2.4 P4...
How does this look for my Mbox2Pro? I've been running 7.3 but will probably move to 7.4 this time. Is the onboard firewire cool with this MB?

Maybe a dumb question
can I put an seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 750-GB 16-MB cache Hard Drive in as my system drive or should only use 320 gb as mention on the first page |
