Newegg had a Athlon XP1600+ AGOIA for $57, so I bought one to replace the Athlon 950 in my girlfriend's puter, which had been running great at 1140 for almost a year.

I am going to sound ignorant on this topic. I am sorry ahead of time. I read on a post that the Yamaha DM-2000 output is only 18db. It also said that there is a mod orexpansions board that will put the board at 24db. It said that this give the board more headroom.

I am wondering what are the diff. between them. I know they look different but sonically, do they sound similar? Micheal, I think you are using a pair of 802, is that correct? Please let me know what's your opinion of the 802.

I just found a pair of 802 series 3 in a great condition. Looking into buying. The guy is asking for about US$1,800.

OK, this is what I'm going for, please advice:

Mobo:ASUS P4PE
CPU:Intel 2,4 Ghz Northwood 533fsb
RAM:512Mb DDR 333mhz pc2700 samsung
Graphics:matrox millennium g550 32mb
AudioHD:WD 120Gb 8Mb cache
OS HD:Not decided yet:)
Burner:plextor PX-W4012TA
case:chieftec

For all you DAW users out there, the question is, "Which recording software program do you use and why do you use it? Do you like it? What software would you use if you could have anything you want? Please restrict this to existing programs on the market. What program do you think would be the best "Universal Program" if it were the only one available?

Do you use this, seen how it works? I have a regular stereo receiver running the sound on my mixer. Could I put this piece between my main outs on the mixer and the input on the receiver and get rid of that annoying his I hear when I turn the receiver volume up past 30. I haven't yet tested to see if in fact this noise is recorded onto my tracks, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was.

Anyone use or seen the performance of either of the following boards:

Abit BE7 or BE7RAID

These boards are new and are supposed to have HyperThread AND be able to use DDR333.

Thanks in advance.

The local Mars Music store is going out of business here locally, and found this a prefect opportunity to pick up some stuff at a big discount. One of the things I got was a couple of large sections of Quad mic cable. I also picked up some Neutrik gold XLR connectors (another store, unfortunately) and will be making a few DIY quad mic cables for pretty cheap.

Help! new at this computer recording stuff. wondering what motherboard is recommended by any users here? ASUS / Gigabyte etc.
Considering Intel 2.53 or 2.4, 512DDR, maxtor ata 133 40 and 80 gb drives, pci sound.
No money as usual etc... any help gratefully recieved!
