Re: Will this Dell work with my Mbox 2 Pro
Hi PTLE,
post your question in the "Core 2 Duo..." thread. I just posted there so it's bumped to the first page. Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. Someone else may be able to though. Dave

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
Hey Allen,
If the Opteron Dual core is kicking ass on the Apple's, and I know at one point the Gateway Laptop 7422 and E Machines which you were recommending, All Athlon 64's, were testing at DAVEC 32 + 27 RIGHT????? Why are you now recommending the new MacBook which is an Intel Duo core---windows based--- and if it is truly better has it outperformed at 32 -27 at 128 and 64 which was posted for the Gateway 7422???? and even more has it proven over time with no problems??? Do I want to build the Allenstein???? Do I want to dump my Gateway 7422 for a new Mac????? Does the Opteron work well with HD???? |

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
Never had a Mac. Do core 2 duo Macs permit overclocking?

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
I just bought a HP y4790d custom built computer from HP (intel dual core 2, 2.ghz, 2 mb ram, 400 gb sata drive,256 Gforce video card). It's running vista I knew this up front and asked HP if I could run xp as a dual boot, they said yes. Well what a nightmare this has turned out to be. I can not get XP to install. I called HP and those bastages charged me $99.00 for premium support becuase my warranty doesn't cover installing XP. They could not help me. So I bring it in to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and after 5 days with it they tell me that they can't get it to install either but mentioned another alternative. They said they could create a virtual machine running XP inside vista does anyone know if there would be any reason why this would not work with Pro Tools?
I would of just sent the computer back right away but I am under a time constraint becuase I am going to school online with the Berklee School of Music and I'm in the middle of a Pro Tool Mixing course. My old computer's MB fried so I don't have anything to work with right now. I figured the Geek Squad would have me up and running in a couple of days. I could still send it back but I'm afraid I would have the same problems if I went with a Dell. Eric |

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
Eric, you're probably having issues because you can't easily install XP on top of an existing alternate OS. You need to boot to the XP CD, completely wipe the drive (maybe use another clean drive for this), then install XP on the first (C:) partition. This should probably fix your issues.

Re: Best Desktops for PTLE
Hello folks! I'm a newbie in this forum although not a novice of Digi products.
I'm building a (Digidesign approved) PC workstation to run my new Digi002 and PT 7.3, I'll go with the $600 option... Now I have some questions for you: - how much will I improve the performance replacing the Corsair Value Select with Corsair XMS? - how much will I improve the performance replacing WD ULTRA ATA with WD RAPTORS? Many thanx in advance... Lorenzo Bianchi Quota |
