hey i am a newbie here and i am loving this site with all the help! i am kinda of in the sam situation as Steelo_Brown. I have a few questions, i am kind of in a bind right now, i have an emachines computer, model T2385 i have a 1gb ram 80gb harddrive no intergrated graphics controller and intel celeron processor. Here is the current information to my machine now:
EMachines T2385
2.3-GHz Celeron CPU,
1GB of DDR266 SDRAM,
Windows XP Home, 80GB hard drive,
16X DVD-ROM drive,
48X/24X/48X CD-RW drive,
integrated Intel Extreme graphics using main memory,
AC-97 sound card,
I want to buy pro tools m-box 2, so i decided to make my own computer since i just started going to college to get my comp science degree i don't know much about this. So i went to the pro tools website and saw that my chip set and processor will not support the m-box2.
so i went to tigerdirect.com and checked out this barbones kit:
tigerdirect.dotcom/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3329104&Sku=M452-2848%20A
I e-mailed digidesign and asked to see if this kit was compatible, everything is i think for except the chipset, but they replyed and said it is not compatible for the pro tools m-box2. I really don't know what to do next i thought this was a great system to use for the amount of money witch is a great price. Does anyone have any advice to a computer i can buy that is already made or has anyone else gone through this same thing?? digidesign should build a computer that you can buy already made to support pro tools because this sucks trying to figure out what is compatible and what is not.
