Can anyone recommend me a good mother board cpu combination solely for music for around �300. I�m not a computer head so I can�t really say much more than that. As long as I can run 16 tracks and some plug-ins and couple good reverbs if that�s possible with the money I�ve got�..any help much appreciated thank�s

LOL...

40c is fine for an XP.. they use a smaller die size, less voltage required so they run cooler... Mindspawns right about the TBirds they were the last generation of chips of that architecture.. pushed it all to the max...

The thermal tab on the cooler/heatsink will be more than good enough for an XP but not a TBird... if you're still unsure, go the thermal paste route! I had to coz I got a TBird..

Well, i finally got my new box with the tbird epox combo, if anyone is interested....

It's working great, and fast as a hooker. I *did* have a problem with my ram at first... it didnt seem to be compatible with the mobo, which the support guy at the ram manufacturer said was fairly common with the new ddr sdram, since its new technology. Blah. Whatever. So I switched it with a different stick and it runs great. Would have been a bitch if it hadnt been for that onboard POST chip... I dont think I'd ever buy another board without one...

well..this is funny because...mine works FINE now. didnt have to switch the RAM or even the slot...

I had mounted it with some plastic washers (between the screw and mobo...)..and apparently that was a no-no. for some reason I thought you were sposed to do that

all is done. reinstalled windows on my new IDE hard drive.

all i can say is FAST!!!!!
