Yeah I have a nuendo pc and a Mac
And as far as I know, I intend to sell both of them
Just gotta figure out the hdd situation on the nuendo pc and get some projects off my Mac
I'll post more details when I am ready to sell.

Probably the rme ad
So far I only have 5 analog pre
The rest is digital adat (16 channels worth)
Still haven't decided pci or pcie or FireWire
I will most likely go pcie but I have to make sure I won't run into bandwidth issues
I have never had problems with FireWire like most people do
I don't know for sure but
I'm pretty sure it has to do with stable clock speeds
And energy saving features on macosx (dumbed down settings prevent users from changing how this works)

Why do you think you'll run into bandwidth issues with PCIe?
I have a client right now that's having hella problems with his Fireface. It almost seems like luck of the draw with Firewire and USB. Solid as a rock on some systems but absolutely bug-ridden on others. PCI-e took the guess work out of it for me and the Multiface has been running rock solid ever since I got it (was second hand too. Already around 7 years old when I got it).

1. Cease use of this word instantly!!!!
2. I'd be an example of rocksolid FF use on laptop + PC... need to starting using it via FW800 on my PC though.
Do tell! Is this risky??
Hi, I'm not sure they can fully. I think to fully disable the C1E halt state and EIST setting this must be done in the EFI which can't be modified or you need an application like coolbook but that doesn't work on the new MAC PROs, would love to know if you have any proof different (I'm being honest, I know things can be read the wrong way on forums!)

Am i wrong in thinking that the EFI is just shoved in a partition at the beginning of the disk? Even if OSX won't see it I'm sure Linux (with necessary extra gubbinz 
) will
) will

Well, I am sure you can AT LEAST remove applecpuintelpowermanagement.kext or whatever it is called and it cuts SOME of the power management features (like that crap that came with Asus motherboards a while ago that cooled down the CPU, but slowed it down also)....it is just not meant to do the trick fully.

Which RME, analog pres and digital adat are you going to use? Just interested because I'm setting up my rig right now and need some input.

Same. I'll probs get a 003 on top just to get access to pt for tracking/editing/opening other peoples sessions to consolidate and export to cubase/reaper

funny you should mention this....
i was using a G5dual 1.8 yesterday (WOOOO) which actually had this option in the energy saver tab of system preferences!
you could chose between low/auto/full performance.
never seen it before!
I've just benchmarked a 980X using that same DAWbench and get 192 instances at 32 samples and around 220 at 64 samples, I got bored after that so didn't do the other buffer settings. On the SOS the latest graph shows an 2.26 E5520 getting around 245 at 64 samples but this is slightly more then I found so the better performance there might be down to the interface.
I should have the dual 6 core machine setup tomorrow so will post the results for that too. The benchmark song is going to drive me mad though!
holy crap
it really is off the charts haha
can't want to buy this computer. i hope i sell enough drum samples to fund the whole thing haha!
