64 bit environments look pretty sweet

a cakewalk letter i received, talked about a Jam heald at the music museum in seatle. they used sonar 64 bit version and the capabilities sound pretty impressive.

The entire jam session was recorded live using SONAR x64 Technology Preview on an Intel 3.2 GHz Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition Dual Core workstation that featured 8 GB of RAM. With 16 simultaneous tracks recording, input monitoring enabled, 6 milliseconds of latency on an Edirol UA-100, running 14 plug-ins including Sonitus multiband compressors, reverbs, and EQs, the CPU meter in SONAR barely budged with the new Intel Dual Core Processor.

I can't wait for the day when input monitoring works as it should in theory.

8gig of ram! That's huge

haha oh yeah, that probably has something to do with the performance as well. i never said it was cheap.

and that processor alone runs $500-1000
i didn't think Pentium made 64 bit processors yet???

Maybe the dual CPU makes two 32 bits into 64???

i dunno...

The 64's are on the way out aren't they?

maybe it being Dual Core has something to do with it?

I would doubt that since Windows just now released a 64bit version and I still believe the AMD 64 chip rules over all the others
Plus, most programs are only 32 bit right now.

There's the Itanium and the new Xeon's that are 64 bit. If you ask real nice, sonar has a beta version for you to try. Or maybe I could.....nah. They wouldn't like that too much.
