Public service : Athlon/DDR and MOTU = No Go

[enemyofthesun]

it doesnt work. Something that has to do with DDR memory etc.. be careful of Athlons in some of this recording gear.. It'll mess you up for weeks

I doubt it has anything to do with DDR memory. I'm doing fine with my MOTU 1224 on an Athlon XP 1700+ with 512MB DDR PC2100.

Probably has more to do with whichever chipset your motherboard has.

midiman told me..in big bold letters when i emailed them...

MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE VIA CHIPSET!

i was asking about delta44.

I dont have a VIA chipset and MOTU themselves eventually admitted the DDR thing..

I had another guy from Midiman (tech service) that said a Delta 66 would work fine (after I told him my exact chipset).

Sounds like a breakdown in communication at midiman tech services.

It's these types of mixed messages that will cause me to just bite the bullet and buy a P4 next time.
