New Computer[views:10286][posts:90]______________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 9:20am - the_reverend ""] ok, since ra and I are both doing computer stuffs, I figure I'll kick this thread up. my computer: [img] what I'm putting into it: 2 200GB 7200rpm 8MB drives that means I'll have 2x200GB RAID 2x60GB RAID plus 100GB + 120GB It's only an AMD 1900+, but whatever... that's all I really need for that system. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 10:45am - RustedAngel ""] i might be getting two of these... though I need to find out if running one on vga, and the other on dvi will be a problem... anyone here know? [img][img] |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 11:23am - the_reverend ""] it shouldn't make a difference. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 11:30am - RustedAngel ""] i'm only going to purchase both of them if i can get the no interest until 2005 deal. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 11:44am - honor4death ""] i was going to get two lcds for my computer so when i run protools i can have the mix and edit windows up at the same time..but i choose not to seeing im still trying to figure out all the features on pro tools, and the mac im getting is gonna be 100 times better to run it on now. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 1:22pm - zebylong ""] I've run Pro Tools both on pc and mac. I've got 2, 1gHz laptops and a G4 800 mHz. The speed of the system only matters when you start using a multitude of RTAS (realtime effects). More ram means more tracks. The bottle neck for the system (independent of Os/arch) is disk access. I have cardbus firewire cards for both laptops, and directly record to an external 7200rpm drive. Trying to record onto anything less will delay drive IOs making 1) Protools bitch and 2) your ass twitch. As far as a difference between PC and MAC, I have seen none -except the annoyance of partitioning a firewire drive for both HFS and NTFS. I recommend sticking with PCs, especially since XP is slowly becoming the industry standard. Supporting OS X has become more of an annoyance than anything else. Digidesign now has a unified widget library, so the interface is the same across platforms. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 2:06pm - honor4death ""] i would stick with a pc but its a pain in the ass to bring around to studios and what not when i was in a band to record something. im getting a powerbook g4 laptop and its alot easier for me to lug something like that around then my whole pc. that and i dont feel like spending the extra $80 to get the pc upgrade when the mac version i have is the latest version |
| __________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 2:30pm - Kalopsia ""] i have a dell, and that's all i know about it |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2004 6:37pm - RustedAngel ""] so i just put ONE of those Dell 2001FP' 20.1 inch LCD's on my credit card.
