Buying a PC

Buying a PC?

I am currently Logic Platinum on a Macintosh G3 333 MHz. This system has worked very well for me. It has been extremely stable, and has served me well for the last 3 years. Now I think is the time to upgrade to a bigger computer.

Actually my first thought was to by an Apple G4 867 MHz until a saw the price. That was to much for me to pay.

Next DAW

Hello,

I'm just about ready to upgrade to a second, more current DAW. Any thoughts on dual processor vs a single 1.7 or higher CPU ? DDR Ram ? Any particular motherboards hot @ the moment?

I will be building a Nuendo system (which specifically mentions dual processor) and want to run VST insts. and plugs as smoothly as possible.

How good are the converters in the Layla 20

Greetings:

I have a couple of questions and from the few posts I have read I am sure I will get some assistance here.

How good are the converters in the Layla 20? Ate they as good as th ones in the Yam aw4416? I know that one is 20 bite 128 x oversampled and the other 24 bits 64 x oversampled. Does the oversampled spec make a major difference...

Thoughts on M80 or Precision 8

I recently purchased an M80 mic preamp but have not yet received it. What should I expect? this is a used unit with the "Jensen" transformers. Is this a pretty good pre for general purpose. I'm tracking through my D8B right now. Will it be much of an improvement? I also ordered an RME AD8 Pro to use as converters. I would also like some feedback on True Systems Precison 8.
