I'm thinking about building myself a new DAW.
I haven't decided anything yet, but I'm thinking about buying the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 8MB L2 cache cpu. Does anyone have any experience with this cpu in a DAW?
But my biggest dilemma is not which cpu to choose, but which combination of cpu/motherboard I should choose.

This is my first build ever.

I've taught myself a buncha stuff and have some good people advising me (non-musician techy guys) but now I wanna ask recording.org. .

Hi there,

I'm building a new PC and was wondering if anybody could make any recommendations on a good motherboard/processor combo.

I'm currently running a AMD XP2400 w/512MB RAM.
Using a Delta 66 PCI card and OmniStudio I/O Box.

OK, Im rebuilding my studio from scratch and Im am going to build my own PC since it will be the focal point of the whole project.

Hey ppl.

I'm lookin at a Kick*** computer configuration for my New studio..
I have a Digi 002 (with Pro Tools) and also wilkl be running Nuendo 3 along with that..
I can go high in budget for my computer configuration if it is compatible with my audio requirements..

Hello,
What motherboards are hot. I want to build, but have been out of the loop for a coupLe of years. last time I viewed this site asus was the way to go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I'm about to put together my computer for the studio.

I do all the multitracking on a Tascam. Basically, I'd just like the computer to be able to record 24-bit files from the Tascam via S/PDIF. I was going to go with the M-audio 2496 card, but just ran across some motherboards made by DFI that have S/PDIF inputs.

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?

I am planning for AMD Athlon 64 (Socket 939) and would like to know which motherboard will be suitable for my expected specifications.

I wish to get the motherboard (Socket 939) that enables the below specs:
