I have a seven years old computer, now good only for the trash container. I want to buy a new one for my studio, and can spend arround 1000 euros. I am planning to use it only for Cakewalk with caketalking scripts, and Goodfeel with Jaws 11. Few days ago I went to the computer shop, and they gave me a offering that looks like this: motherboard Asrock P67 Extreme6 B3 processor Intel Core i5-2500 K Soc 1155 cooler Zalman CPU cooler -CNPS11X EXTREME memory Corsair 2x4GB DDR3 1600 C8 grafic kard XFX HD5450 512MB, HDMI, passive hard disc Seagate, 2TB, 64MB, 6Gb/s, Barracuda LG DVD-RW tower ZALMANZ9 PLUS Price in cash : 1200 dolars. I am only a musician, and don't know much about computers, so I need an advice. I am now using a Tascam US-144MKII, and i am considering to aquire Mackie Onyx. In my studio I am planning to record mostly audio, it will be acapella singing, small chamber orchestras and bands, but there will be midi to. There is another matter, Which OS do you recommand, XP or Windows 7? I red in the tutorials for sonar that I must install 32 bit version even if it is running on windows 7 64 bit, but in this list i found out that lots of you folks are using 64 bit cakewalk program! Did i miss update or missunderstood something?! Thanks in advance! Best regards Mario
