I really hate asking such a broad question, but I've been pulling my hair out with researching this system, that system...
Budget: Tops - 600.00 - No monitor, just the motherboard, cpu, memory, video card.
Used for: Home Music Studio using Cakewalk Sonar 8.5
Do I need quad core cpu?, will a dual core be sufficient and be good enough for recording music. (going through a firewire unit (tascam fw1884) for recording)
Recommended memory - I would like at least 6gigs.
I will be hooking-up 2 or 3 monitors for display.
Note: I'm looking at a HP Slimline system i5-750 with 6 gigs for around 575.00. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220709130039&rvr_id=183860369154&mfe=sidebar
What do you think? Basically it has everything I would like but I really do not know much of the Slimline units.
Thank you,
Craig
