To whom it may concern,
I am attempting to build my own ultimate audio system. I would like your advice on which motherboard you would recommend me purchasing.
Here is what I'm looking for: 1) Pentium III, 2) High Stability, 3) No integrated sound and audio enhancers attached to board, 4) Preferably, excepts DDR RAM, but not required.
According to audio-enthusiast the Pentium III is recommended for professional audio PC's for two major reasons: 1) Many professional audio hardware and software has compatibility issue with some AMD processors, and P4 processors, 2) Processors above 1GHz require more fans thus more noise which is very undesired in an audio PC.
Here are the rest of my PC's Hardware & Software:
1) CoolerMaster ATC-210 Case(Blue)
2) 2 x IBM 40GB Deskstar 60GXP
3) 2 x Plextor 12/10/32 CDRW (quieter than the 16 and 24 speeds)
4) Digital Audio Labs - CardDeluxe 24/96kHz
5) Magic Fleece - Noise control
6) Fans & Power Supply (undecided) "looking for quiet machines, know any?"
7) Sound Forge 5.0, Vegas 2.0, Reason 1.0.1, Cool Edit Pro
8) Windows 98SE (compatibility reasons)
9) 512 MB of SDRAM or DDR RAM
Can you help me make a wise choose?
Thank you,
Steven Andrade
