Happy Easter!
Soon I would like to buy a new PC, that means a new motherboard, a new CPU and a new Bios!
But I am less experienced with stuff like that and I simply want to know which board, cpu or bios I should NOT buy, because Pulsar could have conflicts with?!
I red in this forum that some motherboards from a certain type have problems with Pulsar (I+II). Please tell me which components would be best and which I should absoluely not buy!
THANX in advance!
Which components??

The most solid and tested platform is indeed the ASUS CUSL2 with a 1Ghz chip and 512megs of RAM. 
P4 and AMD/DDR stuff are interesting developments which I believe still need to be ironed out a bit before they snag my money, but an ASUS/AMD/AMD761 sytem with DDR would probably be the only other option I'd even consider right now.
Even the new G4s seem to have problems with other software, and even some (the current?) versoin of Pulsar.
Everything should iron out over the next 3-6 months (optimistically), there are some major paradigm shifts happening in the computing industry, including Processor Guys changing the pipeline stages to eventually gear up for higher clock speeds (while sacrificing performance, for today), new OS's which don't <i>really</i> work that well with software that wasn't written for it (Win2000/XP/OSX etc).
It should be exciting times once we get software written for the incredible new hardware coming out, and once the hardware itself settles down a bit.

Oh that my new Athlon running 2000 Pro cound take Pulsar and ram in around a few times. But as for now, I'll have to "play" Pulsar with my P3 550...and leave the hot job to Sonar XL to leave a few Cubasisese and Logicans in my dust!!
Then again, I've had so much fun making award winning CD's with my lil PIII and SoundForge V...I don't know what all my fuss is about..except it may be waylaid by internet game competition...
...and my new Karma!!
