Re: Wondering P4
That will work fine. I would suggest however going for the Northwood core Pentium 4 CPU though. The Prescott runs quite substantially hotter than the Northwood meaning more efficient cooling requirements hence noise. The Northwood also outperforms Prescott at this speed 3.0GHz in almost all benchmarks.
The only other thing I would look at is getting yourself another HDD dedicated for recording your audio to. Good Luck. |

Re: Wondering P4
my p4 runs great, im loving Hyper Threading now working (i know its still not officially supported)
i have a 3.0GHz northwood make sure you change the L2 cache size in windows (even more important if u decide to stick with the prescott) - many people over look it and it makes a difference only thing is make sure you have a seperate hard disk for audio intel motherboards are the best way to go for a P4 system you dont need an incredibly specky vidio card for duel monitor anymore ------------ Digi 002 ProTools 6.4 Intel D865 PERLL Motherboard (firewire and SATA) Intel P4 3GHz 800MHz FSB with Hyper-Threading 1GB (2x512MB) Kingston RAM (duel channel) 80GB WD PATA (system) 120GB Seagate SATA (audio) nvidia geforce fx5200 Windows XP Professional SP1 |
