From newegg

P4P800-SE $94
Corsair XMS PC3200 512MB (couldn't find any Hynix, but a lot of the Corsair XMS is Hynix under the covers) $127 ea 1GB = $254
P4 2.8c $175
Seagate Barracuda 120GB SATA $97 ea x2 = $194
Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9600SE $70

Throw in your own monitor, sound card, dvd

Total $787 what a bargain
 
bulls hit. .....
on the NR test process. the only important thing is to use the same NR software on both intel and amd to compare.
the guy who reported 1.75 used forge. so i would use a stand alone.
there are demos of forge you can download . not sure but hitsquad.com got a ton of editors that i think do NR you can do a quick test with.
goldwave and audacity have NR built in.
i should explain. .....NR imho is better than any other DAW TEST imho
because its a pure speed test. cuts out all the sales hoopla.
overall i reckon with those speeds amd 64 will find lots of mastering suites as homes.

I tried the NR in cooledit 2000 on a 3 minute 44.1/16bit son and it took 18 seconds to ripple through it.

I dl'd the trial of soundforge, and I couldn't find any specific NR in there.

I used a tool in there called ExpressFX Vinyl Restoration, and it did the same selection in 5 seconds.

I then used the Noise Gate effect on the same selection, and it was just a blip - less than a second.

So I don't know. Pretty inconclusive really, I'm not sure I'm using the same tool your friend did.

Maybe point me at the specific option where this NR lives in Forge, & I'll give it another go...
 
18 secs is pretty typical. in forge the NR used to be up in the menus at the top if i remember.
