Hi,

I'm hoping to put my Oasys PCI and Pulsar 2 into the same computer....

I would appreciate any advice on motherboard and CPU combinations and any other advice to make the configuration work!

Thanks:),

Make sure the monitors VGA and power cable are not running parallel to your audio cables. In fact, keep them as far apart from each other as you possibly can.

You might try replacing your VGA cable with a better quality one.. and obviously make sure your audio cables are good shielded cables.#

oh, this is where that post went. haha obviously i posted to wrong thread. doh!

I think an intel chipset is mandatory to even attempt this. i would either go with a p4 or a celeron Tualatin 1200/1300 depending on weather you want to buy new RAM or not.

An Asus board is pretty popular around here.
Tusl2-c for Celeron, and P4B266(DDR) or P4T-E(rambus)

there aint your dads celerons by the way! they work very well.

Since you have an OASYS you will be using win98/MEso you will not have so many ACPI and other issues related to ACPI/XP etc.

If you have a tower case, there might not be room to put the OASYS anywhere except near the bottom, in that case i would put it in PCI slot 5, and set the IRQ to the second highest one you can, then put the Pulsar in slot2 and set the IRQ to the highest one you can. (depends which one you are going to stream to), I would stream to Pulsar and have it connected to the OASYS via light pipe.

I agree with what Defex has said, except...

There they are running happily on A7M266. Also we had success with Intel i815EPEA2(L) which is the Intel board comparable to CUSL2 only it works without hardlocks with lots of PCI traffic... P4TE & D850MVL work as well with both cards and lots of PCI.

Thank you all for you excellent replies.

I had that running 100% smooth on a Mac G4.
But maybe that was'nt the answer you were looking for
But it does run smooth.
