Protools 8 hardware compatability questions
I'm trying to get my system working properly with protools. Although it seems I have enough raw power, my motherboard and processer seem to be mildly incompatable with protools 8, which is causing pro-tools to hang up with only a few tracks running. I can't even run X-Pand without any other plug-ins or tracks running.
So I'm going to upgrade. I have some questions:
I have a sandra system profile available if anyone wants it. I didn't want to make the first post too long. Any help is hugely appreciated. I want to go get something today or tomorrow. I'm pretty much just looking for someone to say "Processor X and Motherboard Y will definitely have no compatibility issues." I'd like for them to be compatible with with memory I have now (2x 1GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400U DDR2-800), but I'm not terribly concerned with that. At this point I just really want to get pro-tools working properly and without hang-ups or glitches. I just spent $1500 on a bunch of equipment and I can't really use it. |

I'm looking the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 as my processor. Does anyone have any experience with it? Does anyone have a motherboard suggestion?

Re: Protools 8 hardware compatability questions
Thanks Tom. This is what I'm looking at getting:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo Do you know why the "Yorkfield" processors are $40 less expensive than their non-yorkfield counterparts? |
