    no it's a bit over the top..i owned a 4 core processor @ 2.33ghz and never ever used past 2 cores. 4 cores is designed for taxing games but musos should be sweet with anything above 3.10ghz on a duel core. i already have a 1gb graphics card and great pci-e audio card so it will run very smoothly. sure if i put 15 synths, fx and many audio channels it would stress it out but i don't do that.

    What about your hard drives ? SSD or HDD?
    I am using 2 SSD's.. one for OS and one for DAW and VST and the difference is HUGE comparing to HDD.
    If you are still using HDD my suggestion is to buy just one SSD with good read/write rates and use it as your system drive. You'll feel the difference right away :)

    In the case of dan01, I would say "A new AMD for my studio". Cos as far as I know, Intel is owned by a jewish, these sort of people he wishes to see dying...

    Intel is a publicly traded corporation. Should we really be allowing bigotry on the boards? joke or otherwise?

    FYI : Andrew Grove - co-founded of Intel Corporation, Former COO, Chairman and CEO, currently senior advisor Intel Corporation, is a Hungarian-born Jewish-American Businessman/Engineer, author & a science pioneer in the semiconductor industry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Grove). Don't play with words, please.

    And for the "bigotry" question, apparently you did not read his nice comment "Dead to Jews" which was deleted in this topic : http://audiosex.pro/index.php?/topic/1393-all-i-want-for-christmas-is/
    I'm not jewish, but I can not stand racist people ; they are the shame of humanity.
    Now fell free to support these kind of people.

    Well, i'm using 2 WD Green HDs atm, (1.4TB & 1.8TB), and i'm doing fine (granted, most of my projects are less than 10 tracks).

    SSDs will make a difference, but regular HDs will do fine. There's also the possibility of using RAID maybe?

    I used to have one of these. Not that fast thou... but it had some firmware issues and had to give it back. Be careful with these ones before purchasing. Do some research.
    they are really fast thou! :)
