Finding a good hardware to work with my scope project card

[garyb]

Dont let not having firewire make you decide against an otherwise great board.
there are plenty of firewire cards, and they are not expensive.

yes.

[garyb]

you might not need that much ram, nor the expaensive graphics card, you will need another harddrive. that looks like a great price though, is it used? if so, why dump such a new machine?

[garyb]

yes, mechanical noise.

it doesn't seem like a bad deal, but i'd check the computer carefully to be sure that the parts are what they are supposed to be.

Hi again, I did not see that there is a second page to my thread now
I wanted to update.
I got my new parts today (not installed yet).

I bought Intel P43 based motherboard
2 Munshkin DDR2 800 memory
Intel E8400 (box) with a giant silent cooling .
1 Samsung 1T Hard drive for my projects.
1 Seagate 640G Hard drive for VSTi
and a silent Graphic card.
Hope all will run smoothly from now on.

A small other Question
I am working with Cubase, do you think that the right Hard drive to install the program will be on my Projects hard drive (holds only Cubase projects), or on the System hard drive (with win XP).

Thx Tomer.

[garyb]

put all programs on the system hd. put all your recordings on the other.

[TomerTTB]

Thx !
I will do the following
1 250G HD for windows XP + other programs (Scope/Cubase)
1 1T HD for Cubase projects
1 640G HD for VSTi
1 250G HD for waves and samples.
