Hey and thanks in advance for your help!

The smilie should describe my current state of mind whilst deciding on a new system...

:roll:

I use Cubase SX2.2 rev39 and mainly track between 15-20 audio tracks, (vocals, sounds, guitars etc) using a LOT of midi running BFD, Kontakt, Spectrasonics Atmosphere, Stylus (not RMX) and The Grand.

Just thought I'd drop a note letting you guys know that apple is switching to x86 processors, they are saying the transition should begin by next year and be done in 2007. This of course means that every piece of software written for OSX will have to be recomplied to work on x86.

Any opinions? Like? Dislike?

TIA,

Hi for all!

Does anyone know of a nice mobo for a P4 without VIA? I was one the sight for ASUS and couldn't find anything!

Just noticed Intel is offering support for their Prescott processor as of 3/18/2004. What's the scoop on this processor? :?:

Ok, could someone please explain the "Pentium M" Processor? Is this the same as P4 etc? How is the Pentium M Processor in a laptop related to audio and the like?
Best regards,

Hi. I'm presently using the standard Microsoft XP Pro drivers to control my hard drives.

I've heard tell there may be better options.

Anyone have any experience with the Intel Application Accelerator drivers? Intel makes some strong claims for these drivers; the company seems like it's on a roll with its mobos and processors so they could well be true.
