Hey All!
I'm looking to build a new beast of a machine for PT10 and was wondering what thread is most current on PC specs? There are a handful floating around now and I'm not sure which one to use: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=238426 http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=62234 http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=165760 http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=200560 Or is there something more current in one of the PT10 forums? Thanks peeps. Andrew

Those are older links(but the i7 Builds is a fantastic source of info, tweaks, warnings and more). What you want to build today would be based on an X79 motherboard(Asus seems to be the leading choice, with Gigabyte as the #2 choice) with a socket 2011 intel i7 quad or 6 core(roughly $299 and $579 respectively). Add a quad-channel RAM kit(16GB or 32 if you can afford it) from the motherboard manufacturer's list of approved RAM. A power supply of 650 watts or better(my opinion

Great information here! Thanks albee!
I'm currently pricing out some of the items you mentioned (ahhh the fun of building a system online!...seriously...it is fun) and there is one thing that is confusing me. I'm looking at two different i7's: i7 3820 i7 3930K Both have a Max Memory Size of 64GB (which is great because I want to totally max out my RAM for large Virtual Instrument templates). But they have different Max Memory Bandwidths. Any idea how important this is to RAM performance? My assumption would be that if the Max Bandwidth is less than the Max Memory Size then anything above the Max Bandwidth is not used. Back to building..... Andrew

2x the power over the 920!!! That's amazing. Not sure when I'm going to actually buy and build this stuff but the info you've all given me is driving me to do it NOW! And just before Christmas...how am I gonna explain this one to the powers that be?
