I use a p4 1.3 with 512mb, with sx and I don't have any problems. Or at least... I haven't reached a point yet, that I've had problems. Every machine will have it's limits.

yeah man i hear u....
but there is so much confusion out there about latency......some people say its all about a fast hard drive.....some people say its ram... some say...cpu i just want the truth about latency..... im using a waveterminal 2496......good card actually supposedly low latencies....but i cant get past 23 milliseconds....in cubase 3.7 im in here because im eventually going to upgrade to SX and a p4 and need to know if there are any MBoards to stay away from or chipsets that dont work so well........if anyone knows.... thanks d

There are techies here that can give you that kind of specific info. or you might browse recording.org as well. It's mainly technical oriented discussions like that over there.

If your upgrading to a P4 2.0 Ghz system or better, I have one thing to say: DON'T SKIMP ON THE RAM!
It would be like buying a Ferarri body and putting a Volkswagon engine in it. Well, okay maybe not that drastic, but close... If your getting a brand new system, don't go less than 512 MB DDR SDRAM, and if you can afford it I would go with the 1.2 ghz ram option instead. This type of ram can process twice the info in the same amount of time as the old RAM. If your buying a new machine I am sure it will be in it, I don't think they use the old RAM much anymore in new machines. If you can't swing the gig of ram, then go with 512 and make sure that you have another slot on your board so you can add it later. The relationship of processor and RAM is very important. You can have a kick ass processor, but if it doesn't have the RAM to support it you will find your system will hit it's limits earlier. You will find you can't use as many plug-in's as you might want to because they are overloading the system. You won't be able to run as many VSTi's simultaniously. You will find that your simultanious recording and playback of audio tracks may become unstable and glitchy. The problem is once you discover there is a problem, it is usually at the most unopportune time and adding hardware is a pain in the ass when your in the middle of a project. Anyhow, I run a 1.9 ghz P4 with 512 DDR SDRAM and it runs smooth as can be, but I am still planning on upping it to 1.2 ghz in the near future. Remember, as tech is getting better, it makes programs and plug-in's and vsti's more "hoggy" of your systems resources. I decided to build a system that would last me for years to come and not one where 12 months from now I am calling it a piece of junk because it can't do what I want. Good luck and have fun making trouble free music! Go 512 and above.

Sorry if there was any misleading or incorrect info there...all my computer geek buddies always said DDR Ram is like a two lane highway as opposed to a one lane...twice as much info passes through in the same amount of time.
My recommendation still stands though.

i wonder if that means 10-20% faster in VOLUME or if it means 10-20% faster in actual Speed....however i would assume it was speed..... Any thoughts? d

relating to ram...
how much ram can win98 handle? I should use it for recording (ADATedit card:-( ) along with cubase vst5.0 I've got 512MB but I remember reading that win98 can only see 128-256MB. is this true?

If I'm not mistaken it is up to your motherboard/processor type as to how much ram you can have total, and not your operating system.

Appearently I was wrong
 (all this giving good advice and now twice in a week...two duds)  I didn't realise this, but appearently Win98 and WinME has a setting in the program that only allows the system to recognise 512 MB of RAM. There is a workaround though: http://forum.cubase.net/forum/Forum2/HTML/034628.html

yeah, that was what I meant.
I've found other interesting words at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Oper..._20086327.html my system has 512MB, so I'm safe :-) thank you K!
