Quick Question:
Are you guys that are having problems working with Athlon or VIA-chipset PCs???
I gotta say I'm working with a plain-Jane Intel P2-450/Win98SE and other than a couple of real early v3 builds, I have had NO problems; each upgrade has been transparent. If this is the case, I'll only upgrade to another Intel chipset even if it means paying a little bit more or getting a touch less speed.
I will agree Slack that CPU usage has gone up with 3.1, but it's still within my capabilities (I'm hitting 50% usage with 10-12 24-bit/44.1 tracks), so I'm going along with it.... besides I plan to upgrade soon to a 1.6-2Ghz PC anyway....
