Any specific recommendations for this?

would the PROMISE ULTRA133TX2 CONTROLLER CARD
be appropriate? I plan on keeping my 3 IBM Deskstars (system/apps, samples, audio) running off of the onboard IDE and running the CD and CD-RW off of the card.

Any problems or DAW issues with this?

Thanks

Hi guys.
i got my Tyan to work fine on my Dual 1600+ ..

I have the chance to Sell my Tyan with my Dual 1600+ to this friend and buy an ASUS A7M266-D with a better processor.. maybe a 2000+ ou 2200+ MP...

should i stay with my Tyan or Buy the ASUS ? i always had ASUS on my computers and it R0XXX

Well, time to move on and make a proper DAW machine ;)
Was looking at the P4PE series boards and wondering if anyone had a go with them.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Next step. P4 3.06Ghz with HT enabled CPU!

prices:

approx $ 280 for the basic version and $ 350 for the deluxe one.

Asus site:

hey guys...Asus has just posted the new BIOS revisions for the P4B533 and P4T533 series boards. This will allow you to take advantage of the new Hyper Threading CPU's coming out very soon. Supposedly these new processors are to be released this month some time.

I've read about the new DAW specs from Opus...
The ASUS P4B533-V seems to be the best choice for the DAW. I just wonder, the "integrated Graphics" on that Mobo, won't it cause any trouble? Do you disable it in the BIOS?

Does anybody have any thoughts regarding the new ASUS P4PE motherboard that uses the new INTEL 845PE chip with support for DDR 333 memory?

Hi!

I have a few questions for those kind enough to help.

After all the great help on this forum, I am now constructing a DAW (my first effort)using the following:

I'm going to build a computer for a pro-studio here in town. I told the guy he should go with one of the new Asus boards w/533 fsb, Rambus (he wants a gig), and a P4 Northwood. Someone else told him that This will have many issues particularly with Asio drivers under certain conditions, Latency, and Vst Instruments.
