Default Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Shane, I just would like to throw into this exciting i7 thread a short THANK YOU for your great post about Reaper.
I totally agree - as many of us, I think - with your general thoughts regarding artificial limitations of PT Native, limitations deriving from the dark ages of the previous century

The computer has been rock solid except for 1 issue. After installing Strike I started getting strange behavior. That plug has always been buggy as hell so I took it as a plug in problem.

After installing Strike I had Play/Pause like crazy. I looked in my prefetch folder and found 3 files all related to Strike Install? I deleted them and the play pause left for the rest of the night. HOWEVER, after removing them Structure LE started playing off time? I reverted to an image of PT before Strike and all is well again.
I new strike was buggy, but my god man. How can this plug in be released? It wreaked havoc on my tyan and I thought it was a ram issue, but now I know that it just kills any system it touches. I'll stay away. Waste of $100 I could have used to buy more ram for this bad boy


Other than strike, this computer has been CRAZY rock solid. I could not be happier.

hey kris just to let you know, i am running bfd 2.1 (newest version) and is running like a champ. a bit harder on ram, but having no issues at all. i owned both bfd and strike for awhile and was just happier with bfd.

have you got your bios updated yet??

In BFD 2.1...Try "load on demand" if you haven't already.

Default Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

ok couple questions I already got my i7 processor from microcenter about to pull the trigger on the rest. couple questons my buddy that uses my studio as much as I do is going to buy the ram. I found the same brand ram some of you guys are using but faster (3x 2gb 1866mhz ocz platinum) was wondering if this would work fine with a timing of 9-9-9-28.

Also im inbetween mobos. I was going to get the same gigabyte mobo but I kind of want the 6 ram slots for when Windows 7 is available since I probably wont be upgrading again for a long time. Shoud I get the GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P


for like $60 more to get the extra ram slots or just get the

ASUS P6T


for only like $35 more. also as far as power supplies go whats the smallest I could go with i7? Im going to get a very small video card its going to only be a PT system. I do have a usb hub thats packed full of stuff like midi interfaces midi controllers printer etc but the hub is powered. do I need a specific type of power supply? the guy at microcenter said only some of them are i7 compatible but I wasnt sure. Thanks in advance for any replys guys I cant wait to get this going.

i was tracking with it the other night. honestly did not notice a lot of difference though my ram usage fluctuated more. i think this will be more of an impact on slower systems with less ram or not proper hard drive configs. i was using it though with the AFJ expansion wich is like 256 vel layers!!
