I just read that the digi-001 from protools is not compatable with the HP Pavillion. Is this true? WTF!!!
Maximum Performance Guidelines
To provide full 24-track, 24-bit performance on Pro Tools LE with high edit densities and the maximum number of Plug-Ins follow these guidelines:
Intel Pentium 4 with Intel 845, Intel 850 or Intel 860 chipset, Single Processor
AMD Athlon Thunderbird with pure VIA KT133A chipset, Single Processor
Intel Pentium III at 500 MHz or higher processor speed, Single Processor
Performance and the number of Plug-Ins will vary from PC to PC; however, faster processor speeds produce better results.
Total System RAM: 192 MB or higher
File System (all drives): FAT32
Also note that we have seen better performance on computers that have less components attached and non-custom versions of the BIOS or Windows 98 SE.
Known Incompatibilities
Caution - Digi 001 is NOT supported on the following systems or systems with the following components:
Hewlett Packard Pavillion line of computers
AMD K6, K6-2 or K6-III, K7 processor based computers
Original Pentium processor based computers (Pentium I)
Computers with motherboards containing mixed chipsets from AMD plus VIA combined
"ESS Solo-1 PCI AudioDrive" Sound, video and game controller. This device can be disabled from the "Device Manager" in the "System" Control Panel.
Is that what you think?a 533 MHz G-4 = as fast as a 1.4 GHz P-4
Never mind the fact that the fastest processor you can currently buy is a P4. Never mind the fact that it's easier to assemble a stable P4 rig than an Athlon rig. Never mind the fact that you can get a 1.6A P4, overclock it, and give an AMD rig a run for the money in the bang for the buck category.But P-4 sucks ASS- Get rid of it, get an ATHLON.
weAponX said:Ya gotta use a mac- Ya need at least a G3 running os9
Come on now. Macs are prevelant in lots of media production - audio, video, etc... They may not be fast and they may not be priced within reason, but their uses aren't any more limited than most PC's. The only real difference is when you start talking about application development, CAD, servers, enterprise stuff, etc... Audio and DTP are two markets where Macs are pretty well entrenched.It must be the only time in history that a mac user can say that they can even use their computer on anything!!!!!
