the "how to optimize your PC for being a DAW" thread

[jimmy_the_LD]

dear fellow newbies:
as some of you, undoubtedly like me, are trying to put together a DAW PC from scratch and get it all formatted, set up correctly, and optimized, there is a thread that I found (it's actually at the top of the computer recording section) that YOU ALL MUST READ.

there is so much great stuff in this thread.
please check it out.

This information is, well to understate, a bit old.

SCSI drives? Overkill these days, IDE is pretty fast and SATA is defintly fast enough

Modems? Come on.

IRQ's? I haven't had a problem with IRQ's since Windows 98.

Floppy Drives? I haven't built a system in the past 3 years with one.
