[ddots-l] Re: a new computer

Current music industry advice is still to stay away from Windows Vista at this 
time.

  Yes some things now work, some hardware and software, but there are still 
many many plugins which are not 64 bit compatible, and as George says, speech 
for Vista is still not fantastic.

  The situation will improve with time of course, and the new machine I have 
ordered for the studio has a motherboard which supports Quad core CPU's and up 
to 8 GB of ram. I have currently only installed 3 GB however because this is 
all Windows XP can use you are correct about that.

  However the board is 64 bit ready, so when Vista, speech for Vista and all 
music/audio software and hardware tools I'm interested in become usable with 
Vista, I will of course upgrade by switching the OS and filling up the 
remaining 5 ram slots.

  There's a fairly technical article, but does explain some of the basics here.

  Unfortunately you would need a 64 bit operating system, and the problem there 
is that I do not believe any screen readers are available for this as yet.

  Hi all,
  I am planning to get a new computer but a real good one that will give me the 
best working surface in terms of sonar and all the sound sources.
   What would be the best combination for a real good desktop? Mother board, 
ram, HD, sound card, video card, and what ever needed to make a real good one.
  For example, is it possible to have 16 GB of ram on a desktop?  Or what is 
the highest processor I can get and how many of them can I have on a mother 
board? if the answer is yes, would I be able to benefit from it by using Jaws, 
Sonar with ct on that system? As far as I know, windows XP does not recognize 
more then 3 GB of ram. If that is the case, Will I have to use Vista?

  Thanks allot,
  Caglar
