A lot of pro audio guys on forums who build DAW recommend the AV8 deluxe motherboard.

I'm wondering why...is it because it has AGP and a lot of PCI slots?
Are there any other reason?

I don't intend to use UAD-1 or powercore. I don't think i'll need more than 3 PCI slots. so would this motherboard still recommended? Or is there another one better for me?

This is a question to you brilliant daw guys.

Hola!

Almost done with my new DAW. Just one more question:

My Zalman 7700Cu CPU cooler can do 1000 - 2000 rpm. According to the Zalman website it should be safe to run at 1000rpm for all processors. (From what I've read the AMD 64 run pretty cool any way)

Hi

I'm trying to put together a system and I was wondering if this setup looks stable. I'm also keen to know if it is definite that the performance equals the NCCH-DL dual Xeon in performance. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Intel Pentium 4 840 Dual Core "LGA775 Smithfield" 3.2GHz (800FSB)

Asus P5WD2 Premium Intel 955X (LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard

I was thinking of getting an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard
Pentium 4 3.2GHz, Socket 478, 875P, ATX, 4GB duel-DDR400, 800MHz FSB, Hyper-threading.
I believe the board can take up to 4GB Ram.

I was thinking of getting a Kingston, (KVR400X64C3AK2/1G) 1GB kit 400MHz DDR PC3200 Dimm 3-3-3. Two 512MB sticks.

Hi guys

Want to roll new DAW and would like to know if anyone has used the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe with an Athlon CPU? Am looking at the Athlon XP3500+ - any horrible experiences to look out for?

Thanks in advance

Greetings computer audiophiles and groovers in general.

A local computer company can assemble this for under $1200 inc tax & shipping. Seems like a good deal. This is my first audio computer. I will be running Pro Tools 002R with factory bundle, recording mostly small budget-minded projects, demos etc

Here's the setup

My motherboard fried and I need a replacement. I really like this board and hate to change. Unfortunatly this and just about all the other dual MP boards are discontinued. Anyone know where I can still find one of these NEW. I got my old one used on eBay and it only lasted about 8 months. I'd really like to find someone who has a new one in stock.

When I built and installed my system about a year ago all the how-tos were saying to use standard pc.

However, I am now experiencing stutter audio and clicking when running Nuendo.

I have been told by some to switch to ACPI that it is a better bet.

I habe been told by others that my board is older and to not screw with ACPI.

Environment:

- ASUS p4b266, 2.0 ghz, with 1gb memory
