Thanx Brian.We have been thinking that way.We also are going with
1832/33dual with dual 800eb cpus and 512sdram.
Though we have alot of rigs in the biz out west running
ides and are working on plenty o major projects with no
probs.Call the studio's and companies not very smart on
this one,but it works flawless for there sessions.
From the tech point of view,I agree after working with macs.
But for now thru put will be aplenty on bench tests.
Thanx.I appreciate your advice.:-)
P.s.The tiger 1834d is having alot of probs as of late and
should be avoided for audio work until sussted out.This is
from tyan.Alot to do with compatability.Some work then they
do not.Alot of probs with the VIA chipsets.Bx chipsets are
the way to go as of moment.
