Has anyone built a new computer recently? - Page 2 - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

Much needed to do, running a 3ghz p4, running out of power on every project now, even after streaming things down.

Going to wait to go all 64bit, loads of ram, with the new windows. feels like a waste to upgrade now, when such a massive jump up is only months off (more like half a year when you get round to it.

Just hope my emu card will be 64 bit. or I could just sack it and use the virus. never thought of that till now.

I bought a i7 Quad Core system Win7 64nit from Carillon, which i would NOT recommend to you all.
Not the best service!!!

any way i noticed that i still had to do some BIOS tweaking to get ridd of some audio pops and clicks that i didn't expect.
basicly you better turn off those "Green" options in your BIOS.
since it will sometimes force the PC to put an item in sleep for instance and out of sleep, causing some noticable audio disruptions.
When you are working you don't want energy saving crap, if you want to save the planet you wouldn't be in electronic music : -)

consult you BIOS manual, you really can win some.

I'm due a new build now cubase 6 is out. It's been that long I've got no idea where to start.

Same here mitchie. I need to make the move to Win7 as I've started using Vienna Ensemble, and 3.14 gb of RAM simply does not cut it. I had Cubase 5 running on my win7 laptop but it was completely unstable, so going to test 6 first before deciding to build a whole new rig...

Just got my new one:

Intel i7 970 (6 Core) 3.2GHZ
12gb RAM PC16000 2000MHZ
10,000RPM HD
x58a-ud3r Motherboard

Geekarific!

Definitely recommend building it yourself, so much cheaper.

Nice board, I have the Rev 1 version of that board (so not entirely sure it applies to you) but myself and a LOT of others had/have problems with it making a loud high pitched wine noise from either the board or the PSU.

Drove me nuts for a month before I cured it. It hadn't set the memory frequency correctly so I set it manually and it solved the problem. Anyway I hope yours don't squeak!

My PC is right by my left knee and almost totally silent except for a very slight hum.
