Ok,
I have had about all I can stand. I called e-magic and they sent me a pre-fabricated e-mail responce with trouble shooting for Windows shit. Nothing worked. I have pumped the internet for about all it can give, and I still can not figure out why I can not record more than 3 tracks of audio before my 933MHz Pent III PC running Logic Audio Platinum says "ASIO overload. Could not process audio fast enough " blah blah blah. Now I know that there has been the age old war amungst home recording engineers over which is a better system... PC or Apple. Now I am not jumping ship at the first sign of struggle. However I am on a fixed budget for my project(s) and I am at the cross roads where I have to decide of I should save up for a pro studio mic ($2000) and a new guitar, opr if my system if flawed because of so many incompatabilities and sharing of interupts, mixed with opperating system problems, seasoned with faulty BIOS settings.
Now I am in no way a "computer minded guy". I know a little bit about how things work. And I have installed a few cards and a few things like that. However I know enough to know that I AM BECOMING LESS AND LESS A FAN OF PCs. I mean they seem to be great for small businesses, networking, internet research and surfing, and things of a mass market daily life type task stuff. However, them seem to be WAY too loose and lets face it... Unreliable
Anyway, my question is this.... I have been looking into this new dual processor (800 MHz x 2) power Mac. It is supposed to be something like 83% faster and more stable than a PC. Now I know there is some controvercy as to how these stats were founded. (Something to do with Photoshop gearing it's SOFTWARE to work perfectly on this system) and I am sure that this machine is not 83% better than PC on all programs. However..... can someone please drill into my head why 2
800 MHz processors running the most stable machine on earth is not a better system then my current 933 MHz Pent III that can't seem to chug out more than 3 tracks of synced audio before it spikes the audio driver?
