hello all - I'm in the process of buying a scope project board and am unsure of the most appropriate motherboard, cpu + ram to ensure an optimum sliky smooth system. Can anyone please pass on some much needed info on hardware spec? I have been told asus motherboards are the most stable for audio use - anyone recommend a specific model? Have had conflicting info on intel / amd cpus. With the newer 64 bit processors - does it make much of a difference which manufacturer you choose for a purley audio based system? Have also been recommended to use kingston ram - a good choice to accompany the above mentioned brands? cheers in advance......

the cheapest most stable thing you can run right now is still intel d865perl w/a 3.2ghz or faster p4 prescott or northwood. the newer processors and motherboards should be fine as well if you stick with intel(avoid 915 and 925chipsets). if you really want to use amd then be sure to use nforce chipsets. the nforce3 seems to work best, the nforce4 had LOTS of problems at first, but later users have reported success. i'd avoid nforce4 just to be safe. NO via, ali, sis, ati chipsets!
kingston ram is plenty good, however, i reccomend corsair twinx sets for the best quality.
the main thing is to use good quality name brand parts(which don't have to be significantly more expensive). avoid bargain parts.
