Hey all,

Forgive my ignorance. I'm used to my old Pro Tools hardware and learning new things with PC's.

What ever AD/DA converter I go with, like Apogee, CRane Song, Larvy, RME etc, do I need a sound card still installed in the PC ( windows XP tower)? or, do the higher end converters, or one in particular replace the need of the sound card?

Thanks to the pros on this site, in 2007, I built a DAW that could not be any more powerful. I did a lot of research to make sure what I bought was rock solid for audio (and not just a loaded gaming machine).

Hi there.
I have recently acquired a new PC running a dual core processor and 8GB of RAM.
I've installed XP 64bit as it's the only operating system that will support this.
Does anyone here have experience with 64bit?
I mainly use Sonar, Nuendo and Reason, and need to know if there's anything I should take into account before I try configuring it.

I'm finally looking to upgrade to a Pro Tools system, but am somewhat wary of building my own computer. I've decided to go the laptop route for interaction with a digi 002, but I've had bad experiences with systems from companies recommended on digi's site, such as dell, hp and compaq.

These guys got their tweak guide information from? HMMMMMMM? I wonder?

Hmmm...can you say plagiarize? :D
