I have laptop with the T6600 in it. The CPU's are swap able.

Considering the FSB and CPU watts are different, can i swap these out?

I do know i may have to change things in the BIOS. ( If the HP allows me to change things.)

If i am not able to, can i at least change over to a T9500 with same specs?

My laptop: HP G71-340US.

I am currently in the works of building a custom PC to be used mainly for audio recording purposes (ill use Cubase, Pro Tools, etc. ) and also will be used a bit for gaming and also for watching HD/Blu ray movies.

I just wanted to hear your opinion on this processor for these purposes and if not, suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Just got a Rocktron Intelliverb. I downloaded the manual, and there was nothing on whether the in and outs are balanced or unbalanced. Anyone know?

Thanks,

Hi. I'm looking at putting together a Windows box. I've heard a rumor that VST's actually *LIKE* AMD processors.

Is this true?

If I were using VST's, would building an AMD box be a good start?

What are other advantages or disadvantages one would consider when constructing a new box for 2009.

hi, i've read a lot of posts, but i think posting my thoughts will help me get the answers i'm looking for. thanks in advance for all of your help.

i'm buying a new PC to use with a Mackie Onyx 1620 24bit 96k
i need to avoid latency.

so ive been looking for a mac for quite some time and now that i have money want to get one. So what I'm asking is their any disadvantage to getting an older g5 with the ibm processor? and if so would the 20" imac (Intel) with 1 gig ram and the 2.16ghz work well? Im running firepod and Cubase 4 but would eventually like to upgrade the interface to may a fireface.

I'm planning to get a new imac 20 and a Firepod, I know the Firepod has intelmac drivers available, does anyone know if the bundled Cubase LE software will work on the new macs? I've been looking here but no answer so far. Cheers

Hi all. thanks so much for all the Input, suggestions and information. It's been a great help. Here's the master plan. Please feel frr to poke holes in it.
I have a Korg Triton Pro and I plan to buy some software which will give this keyboard the ability to perform the same as the Korg Karma.

Hi. will ALL current programmes run properly on the new 64 bit AMD/Intel processors, providing I use the current 32 bit Operating System. IOW...are the new chips 100% backward compatible? Also. I've read that top end audio programmes are written around the Intel specifications. is there any evidence that AMD's aren't?

If anyone has one of these and has installed windows XP on it, let us know how everything is working. I'm particularly in running audio programs under windows with interfaces. This could open up a whole new world.
