From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Laura Conrad Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 12:59:36 +0000 Subject: motherboard/cpu combo for sound Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org I'm going to be upgrading my machine soon. I wondered if there's anyone here who follows the hardware market better than I do, and has an opinion about what's a good buy at the moment. I'd also be interested in what people would get if price were no object, although that isn't exactly the case with me. And in predictions about how much better a machine I can get for less in 6 months. One of the applications that seems to want more horsepower than I currently have is hard disk recording. Timidity (which I use frequently) also seems to sometimes want more than it can get from my current machine. I've heard people say (not in the context of sound applications) that the Celeron processors are pretty cost-effective these days. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@world.std.com , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
