could you please help me with building up a new recording pc.
I have following pieces on my list:
a Q6600 Quad-Core processor
a MSI P6N SLI FI wich has a 1394a (quite rare these days I figure)
and 2 gigs of ddr-2 ram
still got an 250gb hard disc (ide)
but I still have some Questions.
1. is the quad core any good for recording or should I pick up a dual core instead. what about daw supporting dual/quad core?
2. how much ram would you suggest? it isn't that important for recording right?
3. what about a ide drive, will a s-ata be A LOT faster for recording purposes?
4. I'm thinking about picking up a alesis IO|26 for recording, will it work togehter?
thx in advance, your help is appreciated. sorry for my english ;(
