Well folks, it appears as though I'm now on this hunt for parts to build a daw. In speaking to Bryan Smart yesterday, he pretty much summed it up by saying get an intel mobo and proc, name brand ram, c gate hd's, a good antech case, obviously a good power supply. The question arises regarding the various intel procs out there. Zeon, conro, prescott, Penrin, allendale, Wolfdale, etc. Is there a resource that explains which of these processors are the best for audio recording? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
