Rstiltskin said:You can see the amd and intel almost tied in two apps, the amd about 30% ahead in the gameing ap, and the intel way, way, way, way, way, way, way ahead in the video compression ap. Which, in my experience, would indicate a bug in the amd processor or the chipset, or the bios. It is probably a minor thing, that could take the software vendor (divx) a day, a month, or a year to fix. Once they stop blaming each other. The motherboards are almost the same, the ram, drives, operating system, cases, etc are all the same. the processors bencmark very close to one another, so why is the amd so way behind in this one ap?
Does the opteron only run on one third party chipset? does it matter? are they all equally compatible?
If you chose a recording application and a sound card, go to those vendors and ask for a mb/ ram/ processor reccomendation you will have the best chance at compatability.
In my opinion any other advice is irresponsible, because all you are saying is what has worked for you in the past, and will PROBABLY work for him. But unless we know the soundcard and the recording ap, its just prejudice. Informed prejiduce, maybe, but prejiduce.....don't bother to flame me cause this is my last post to this thread, I know some of you will be pleased.
No, you are correct. But I still don't see how calling up the monkeys at Steinberg or M-Audio and getting their slightly more informed, prejudiced opinion is any better....
