hi,
i am about to build a machine for the sole purpose of running pd/gem/pidip on a planetCCRMA system for starters and am unsure which components to get. I would appreciate any advice regarding things like:
processors: intel or amd - pentuim or athlon, celron etc.?
is the difference between a 2.6mhz and 3mhz worth the extra 100 euros ?
which motherboard brand: gigabyte?
graphics card - i'm thinking about an ati 9800 all in wonder pro? - is this overkill? maybe a 9700 or 9600 would be just as good?
what type of harddrive - Seagate Baracuda look good?
noise reduction systems / watercooled processors - good idea / bad idea?
prebuilt systems? bad idea? any exceptions?
thanks,
