setting up Sonar x1 64bit on three storage drives

I just upgraded to Sonar x1 producer expanded and am wonder what files should go on which drives? I have the ssd c drive for the OS, programs and all vst dll. files, and two 1tb caviar blacks drive D and E. D is for the audio and E for sample libraries. Can someone give me a rundown on how to install specific Sonar folders to the right destination for optimal performance?

Sonar X1 64bit for mixing/production.

Has any used Sonar X1 real world for production/mixing a project. I've recently upgraded to an PC with i7 cpu and Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Am very interested in the additional power of 64bit in relation to plugins/Vsti's count.

I'm also looking at Pro Tools 9, just really curious how does Sonar stack up 4 REAL!

Windows XP 64bit

Hi there.
I have recently acquired a new PC running a dual core processor and 8GB of RAM.
I've installed XP 64bit as it's the only operating system that will support this.
Does anyone here have experience with 64bit?
I mainly use Sonar, Nuendo and Reason, and need to know if there's anything I should take into account before I try configuring it.

64bit Processor vs Faster 32bit Processor for a DAW

what do you guys think is a better set-up for a DAW, does anyone know whether Software like Sonar or CUBASE take advantage of the 64bit technology? i heard a lot of older software out there will run on a 64bit processor as a 32 bit process, and not get done any faster?

Any Reason to go to 64bit?

I notice some companies offering 64bit processing compatable hardware/software. Is there any realistic reason to start using 64 bit software and hardware and purchase a 64 bit computer. This is my first DAW setup that I am considering so I'm wondering if it's worth it to spend my money on a 64bit PC/Interface/Software.

Mobo for AMD 64bit 939

Hey Gang

I've had a good trawl through some posts and it seems that the Gigabyte K8ns Ultra 939 is a mobo of choice for the AMD 64bit 939..

(Gonna be using RME cards)

Question...Is the Winchester the preferable beast, and what is the current du jor model for blistering VSTi performance? Also, any other recommendations for mobo's? Any pratfalls to look out for?
