小弟最進要組第二台computer, anybody knows if using Athlon running Pro audio Software, 會有問題嗎? 'cause I prefer AMD athlon now...
這要看你使用的錄音卡。 AMD的CPU目前為止應該沒有什麼問題了。 不過如果你是要用ProTools搭配Digi001 那麼注意使用VIA主機板時，請選擇KT133/KX133/694U，其他如Sis...等沒有測試報告。 之前AMD與VIA，都是因為與Motorola的DSP Chip相衝，所以如果你所選擇的錄音卡是使用Motorola的Chip，你可以能就要注意一些。
以前AMD的處理器做的比較差、相容性也不是很好，特別是cache很少，效能不是很好。現在AMD athlon是不輸 Intel的P4，而且比較便宜。我老師用athlon跑Cool Edit Pro和一些軟體都沒有相容性的問題。不過你要是要跑ProTools 最好還是用Mac，因為也只有一種主機板，沒有PC那種有的沒有的問題。 我覺得奇怪的是，現在真的還有人自己拼電腦嗎？這樣真的可以省錢省時間嗎？
Oh, Thanx for your opinions 這兩天我上 Audioforums, 看了一堆 Athlon v.s. Intel的口水戰, 我發現大家一致推薦 Athlon. So, I decide to choose Athlon now. But, next question is 選甚麼chipsets? 1. AMD 761 2. Via KT266-E 3. Ali M1647 我好像在出選擇題給大家討論.... Yeah. 自己組電腦是很有樂趣的事, Of course, you should spend some time and energy. If you just wanna focus on Music.... Just choose Mac. I always tell my friends. Don't choose Windows PC if you are new to it.
小弟又看了一堆信, So, my decision is.... VIA KT266A Chipsets 所以最佳拍檔... 華碩的 A7V266-E , 但還沒上市.... 當然最重要的心臟... AMD palomino XP 1.6G..... Windows XP ready...
我現在用adc/dac2000這個聲卡用kt266,不是kt266a,出現了爆音的問題，我想知道是不是就是via与聲卡芯片的衝突呢？ 如果我選擇AardVark q32,或者RME9652這兩塊聲卡用amd的cpu是否需要選擇特殊的聲卡呢？因爲amdcup的確特別穩定又夠快，根本連dsp芯片用不到了，所以我選擇它，只是兼容性一直讓我頭大，請教各位了charm [email]ingman@chinese.com[/EMAIL]
I found this old topics, Here are some Update Suggestion from PCaudioLabs 因為昨天不能打中文，今天解釋一下，一般使用者用 PC 錄音出問題的機會比 Mac 大很多，下面是一些可能是比較穩定的組合跟注意事項。 --------------------------------- Building a Digital Audio Workstation is easy. Choosing the right components is tricky. The most critical components of a DAW are: Motherboard. Must be compatible with all attached devices, most importantly your audio PCI card. Also, must be easliy configurable because IRQ conflicts must be easy to solve should they occur. Recommendations... Dual Pentium III - Supermicro P3TDE6-G Dual AMD Athlon - Tyan Tiger MPX S2466 or ASUS A7M266-D Pentium 4 - Abit TH7-II Raid (Rambus memory) or ASUS P4B-266D (DDR SDRAM) AMD Athlon - Abit KR7A133-RAID or ASUS A7V333 CPU (Central Processing Unit). A fast CPU allows for more Native Processing power in you audio recording/sequencing program. General rule, the faster, the better, and dual processors are great if the budget is right. A Dual Pentium III system is a proven work horse. Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon CPUs can be faster and are becomming standard. Memory. PC133 SDRAM is the slowest and most affordable. DDR SDRAM is the faster than PC133 SDRAM and costs a bit more. Rambus RAM is the fastest of the bunch and has the highest price tag. The Memory you select depends on what the Motherboard uses. Hard Disk Drive. Three things to consider. Rotational Speed, expressed in rpm (revolutions per minute) - faster is better. Seek Time, in milleseconds - lower is better. Transfer Rate, MB/sec (megabytes per second) - faster is better. A typical IDE drive will have 7200rpm, 8.9ms seektime with an ATA-100 transfer rate (ATA-100 = 100 MB/sec). A SCSI drive can have the same statistics except the Transfer Rate would be expressed as Ultra-160 (Ultra-160 = 160 MB/sec). SCSI or IDE? It all depends. SCSI is slightly more expensive and a seperate controller card is required. IDE cost less and works just as fine as SCSI. With SCSI you can acheive a higher track count, and if you plan to do video and audio editing, SCSI is the way to go. If you not sure which one to choose, send us an email and let us help you reach a decision. Graphics Card. For a Dual Monitor setup, go with a Matrox G450 or G550. Otherwise, any Graphics Card will do. CD-R/RW Drives. We recommend Plextor drives when it comes to burning your mix down to CD. Burning Audio above 8x is not recommended. Taiyo Yuden CD-R media is amongst the highest quality.
