What's up guys? I recently bought a new laptop and am really digging the performance, but I'm a desktop man at heart. I'm working on figuring out a triple monitor setup; I want to pair two Hanns G monitors vertically on either side of my Hanns G 27.5 inch big guy. Not sure what size monitors I'll need though and if a 3-way ergonomic stand will fit it/do the vertical thing. But that's neither here nor there.
I have some extra cash and am wanting to upgrade the PC. I'm currently running a Q6600 Quad at 2.0 ghz. 4 gb of ram with Windows 7.
My laptop has a turbo boosted 2.8 ghz i7, and that seems to perform well, but what are my other options? I don't know if a Xeon or something higher end would be something to consider. I'll also have to upgrade my graphics-currently hvae an nVidea GT8800. I'll obviously need two cards, so I was considering maybe two 9600's? But I really don't know.
The PC is obviously built for power/recording....I use Cubase SX5 and LOTS o' plugins/instruments. Any help is appreciated! \m/
