Hi,
I'm currently specing out a new PC to replace the one I currently have
in my music studio. I'm not keen on buying new software as the
programs I currently have are adequate for my needs as is the OS,
win98SE. Dual boot Linux.
I'm looking to get a P4 Northwood 2.8Ghz on a Chaintech Summit 9VJL3
Mobo (Via chipset)
My questions
(i) According to the techie win98SE won't run on a Northwood :-(
I've looked into this and assume a) he wants me to buy XP. b) It's to
do with the speed limitation which can be fixed with the ndis_fix
patch. I don't want to spend money on assumptions so any clarification
would be appreciated.
(ii) Any ideas on how accurate (or not) either of the above components
are from a realtime point of view?
Reason: I have several external midi devices that sync together. The
PC is NOT the master clock but must follow along without any glitching
during cache flushes or whatever.
(iii) Any gotchas or personal exerience with the above componants
please let me know b4 I spend my hard earned cash.
TIA
