Welcome to XITE-1 and its world of true-high-end, Life won't be the same anymore

. A big thanks when you post your specs.
Hi, sorry for coming back late to this thread.
My computer specs are somewhat outdated for the time being, but XITE-1 and SCOPE 5.1 work pretty well w/ my machine:
OS: Win XP Pro SP 3
Processor: Intel D945 Dual Core (stock speed 3.4 GHz) o/c 11-12% to 3.832 GHz
MoBo: ASUS P5WD2 Premium
Big Zahlman processor cooler,- forgot the model name, but it´s the best available for this machine and fits into the 4 HU rackmount case (19" EYE server case).
Case fans: NB Multiframe M12-S2 (120mm) & NB MF8-S2 (80mm)
Graphics: EVGA Nvidia 9500 GT (512-P3-N954-TR)
4 GB RAM: Mushkin Redline PC800 w/ selected Micron chips (running @ 901 FSB)
PSU: Corsair HX 520W modular 80+
3 internal harddrives: WD Caviar Black AALS6401 (640GB / 32MB cache)
2 external harddrives: Samsung 1TB eSATA / 1 500GB USB2 WD Caviar green
There´s Texas Instruments Firewire400 w/ this motherboard as well.
Optical drive: LiteOn iAHS 424 Lightscribe
Floppy: TEAC FD-CR7 w/ 7in1 Cardreader, beige
USB 2 (NEC) high speed hub PCI card in PCI slot #2
XITE-1 PCIe card in the one and only PCIe x1 slot on that mobo.
For MIDI, I´m using a MusicQuest (Opcode) 8PortSE 8x8 MIDI interface and the Earthvegaconnections 32Bit Direct Music driver, the interface connected to the LPT parallel port of the Mobo,- and MIDI OX virtual MIDI cable(s) in addition to XITE-1 MIDI I/Os.
That´s a very stable and tight solution,- and for 64Bits, it will run too because there´s now a Earthvegaconnections 64Bit Direct Music driver available too for the 8PortSE MIDI interfaces.
I´m running physical MIDI and USB MIDI to the computer and XITE-1,- USB and physical from Kurzweil PC361 and USB MIDI only from Roland/Edirol PCR300.
This machine runs SCOPE 5.1 32Bit, Presonus Studio One Pro v2.06, Phead Reason 6.02, Reaper 4.2x, NI Komplete 7 and all my other VST plugins too.
According to XITE-1 PCIe on that motherboard, I only had to disable 1 USB controller which shared IRQ w/ XITE-1 PCIe.
Gary B. found out and it was a 5 second task then.
Connected to XITE-1:
Nuendo/RME 8 I/O (ADI 8 Pro) AD/DA converter - ADAT source/destination A
Nuendo (Rosendahl) Timelock Pro synchronizer - BNC Wordclock & MIDI, reading SMPTE
2nd rackmount PC, Intel P4 2.8 GHz/400FSB, 2GB Kingston RAM, ASUS P4T-E, Enermax PSU, NEC/TI USB2/Firewire combo PCI card,-
Creamware 15DSP Classic / SCOPE 4.0,- connected to XITE-1 via ADAT (source/dest B) and MIDI.
I´ll try one of my ASUS P4B533-V rev. 1.0 motherboards for the 2nd rackmount soon because the P4T-E introduces BIOS (BIOS chip) issues, keeping the 15DSP Classic alive in that rig.

Well,- have a look at "Scoperise" in september.
Can be, I´ll add a laptop solution for XITE-1.
