You will definitely be making history and be the first running an HDK Quadzilla.

Wh at do the experts think of this mobo?

Its nearly 100 bucks less than the Asus and has a TI firewire with 3 ports(2 on a backplane).

Well, My DVERB results are in.


Windows XP SP3
i7 920
Gigabyte EX58-UD3R
3 1 gig sticks of 1333 ram
Hyper Threading off

Session was at 24 bit 48k Clocked to a Tango 24

Buffer 1024 376 Dverbs
Buffer 64 295 Dverbs

So far the system feels quite stable but only real session work will make sure.

I am Fu**n floored right now.

How many Dverbs does an Accel card get again?

You'll only get a pathetic 38 per Accel card for $4995.00.

...and for that price, you can build 5 Quad computers built off the Intel i7.

Come on Digidesign, please see the light and start moving PT Native forward. What are you going to do in March when Apple releases it's i7 Xeon 8-16 core computers with 32 logical cores? If a current HD owner wants more power, they'll just need to upgrade their computer which will be cheaper than 1 Accel card, and give one over 10+ times the DSP power. The music industry has changed, the economy has changed and we're 9+ years into a new century. Time to wake up.

PT Native is no longer the bastardized step child. We're the native youth gone wild and HD is now the old man.

Amazing...just absolutely amazing.

Yes it is.

I think its time to change the dverb test. It's just getting ridiculos. Lets make it an Eleven free test. Just jokes.

SMOKIN'!!! just askin'...but did you check your bios to make sure your ram was set at 1333? guitardom's bios defaulted to 1066 with his 1333 ram and i know u cats are usin' the same mobo. just askin'...

[Kris75]

My ram is at 1066.

I can't figure out how to change it though. Any tips?
