min. sys. requirements for tracking on 002 laptop?
Hi,
I just ordered digi-002 rack and am considering buying a used (PC/winXP) laptop to use as a mobile tracking rig. If I'm only going to be tracking and NOT mixing on this laptop, what are the minimum system specs I could get away with? Would an 800mHz processor with half a gig of ram work? Could I get by with a slower processor? I'll have external firewire hard drives, so drive space isn't an issue. I'd like to be able to use this to just track/record 8 inputs at 44.1kHz/24bit or 2-4 inputs at 96kHz/24bit. I'd then transfer everything to my desktop PC to do the mixing/mastering. Thanks for your input. -Jeff |

Bare minimums are listed on the compatibility page.

"The following CPUs are required for best performance with the Digi 002 Rack:" note the "for best performance" I'm not looking for best performance while mixing down 32 tracks of 96kHz/24bit audio with 30 plugins running... I'm looking for really bare minimum requirements for ONLY tracking a handfull of tracks. Thanks for your input so far. -Jeff |

If it's an 800Mhz P3, I expect it would be plenty for the tracking you describe, and even more. 512M RAM is fine.

Check me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the PIII is approved.
