Old
Slow
Soon to be put out to pasture.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I haven't had the time to measure my dick yet.
Will do so soon and post the length and thickness here.

 

[Suicide_As_Alibi]

- Intel Core 2 Duo - can't remember the number off the top of my head, but it's a 2.66GHz running at 3.33GHz
- 4Gb RAM
- 2 x 500Gb Samsung Spinpoint HDDs
- 2 x 320Gb WD Raptors
- 200Gb eSata HDD
- 4 DVD/RW drives of various makes
- Unbranded Radeon x1650
- 2 x 24" monitors (probably the next things to be changed - and probably expanded to 3)
- Dual-booting Windows XP 32 and 64 (both SP3).

With this set up, the biggest project I've run in Sonar is a 15 minute song with 147 tracks and 80ish plug-ins, and the CPU hovers around 80% - so I don't see the point in updating for now. Oddly enough the photo editing I do does more damage - Photoshop CS4 is horrendously RAM hungry.

-Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz (1066MHz Front Side Bus)
-Gigibyte GA-P35 motherboard
-3 GB of Ram (1066Mhz)
-300 GB Western Digital 3200AAKS-00VYA0
-NIVIDIA Ge Force 8500 GT (pretty crappy card, so I can't run particularly modern games)
-Dell 19 inch monitor, LCD, of which particular model I have no idea

Thinking of throwing a newer CPU under the hood for the hell of it though

 

[AdamWathan]

Figured out my problem with the CPU overload... Voxengo Elephant in 8x oversampling mode uses like 40% of my CPU!!!

 

[Metaltastic]

Damn, that's good to know! The one thing I'm always paranoid of though is not being able to determine whether Reaper will respond to setting Elephant's Oversampling to Auto (where it has to recognize when Reaper is bouncing and only go to 8x then)

 

[AdamWathan]

Just manually change it before rendering if you're worried about it?

 

[Metaltastic]

...my GOD, the genius of it all...

OK.....lets talk old and slow! I have 4 computers that still serve me. The oldest is a custom built AMD Athlon 750 mgz, with 512 mg of Ram running Windows 98 second edition. Oddly enough, this computer is the most stable out of the bunch. Although it's 10 years old, terribly outdated and won't run any current software, it has NEVER crashed! Solid as a rock!

 

[GarethSE]

Intel Q6600 with Arctic Freezer 7 cooling, running at stock speed
4GB 800mhz DDR2 RAM (ocz if i remember rightly)
GeForce 8800GT, 512mb, running at stock clocks n shit

 

[StefTD]

about old computers-my father still got his first
that thing is like 20 years old and he had to pay like 12,000$ for it.
It's still working without a crashing or anything like that-there's a display like on a on a calculator that says with how much mhz the pc is running.
Most of the time it changes between 32-33Mhz...and you could play some Pong like game on it, with Ones and Zeros (so the 0 was the ball and the 1 you were the 1...)

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Powermac G5 quad 2.5gHz
3 gigs of ram
500/250 gig hard drives
500 gig external

I'm completely fine with this for now, everyone says I should go intel. Haven't had to much of an issue with performance using pro tools 8 or cubase sl 3 so I'm sticking with this until the mac pro comes down significantly.

Dualboot: Vista-64&Sonar8-64/ Vista-64

Tried the lighter XP-64, but loads of problems with drivers.
Tried Windows 7-64, worked brilliant and fast. 30 minutes install. Will wait for final 7 and it's price.
Now on Vista-64, but 2 hours install. Everything works.
