Subject: opionions please....
Original Message Date: 02-Jul-03 @ 06:40 AM Edit: 02-Jul-03 | 06:47 AM - opionions please....
This is the system I am considering upgrading to:
Gigabyte GA-8PE800 ULTRA MoBo
Intel Pentium 4 / 2.53GHz 533MHz CPU
CORSAIR XMS 512MB 32MX8 PC-2700C2PT memory
LSI Logic ULTRA 160 SCSI Host Adapter PCI Card
AHANIX EX110 (BLACK) MID-TOWER PC CASE
WD WESTERN DIGITAL 40GB 8MB 7200RPM (audio) DRIVE
Maxtor 120GB 8MB 7200RPM (system) Drive
ENERMAX EG365P-VE(FMA). 350W Power supply
MATROX G550 Dual Head Video Card
ANTEC 80mm 4 pin Sleeve Bearing Fan.
I'll use my monitors (14 & 15 inch) from my 486 and P1 computers which will finally be scrapped.
I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on these components for building a PC DAW around?

mick, i just stuck linux on a dual boot with winxp.
not good really. linux seemed very slow, like 15 seconds to load mozilla (web browser) and even a minute at least to dir my windows network drives. seems slow as constipation really.
& most of the software i was interested in was available (free) for windows anyway.
maybe it's ok for running a server or something but ...
anyone else got any thoughts? & should i have been running linux as a text thing instead of graphic? i was running redhat 9 btw.

i used to use redhat dual-booting with win98 a while back (can't remember the version) but it was blindingly fast, especially considering the PC it was running on was decidedly average.

i installed redhat 9 on a dual boot with windows xp last week.
slow as . took ages to boot up. took 20 seconds to just start mozilla. took minutes to read a directory over a network after taking minutes to ask me for a password that doesn't exist. i was using a graphical front end, dunno if it makes a difference.
i un-installed redhat 9 this week.
(and , was that a pain in the arse)
