I have it on my spare puter,,,its an athlon 900 /512 ram,,,but no internet or ports needed,,just the vid/0404,,.
In the bios I turned agp aperature from 128 to 64,,,pci latency to 96 from 32..
Those 2 edits gave me more synths without changing latency.....
cheerz...

I'm curious because I'm having a hard time convincing myself I need to upgrade my P4 2.53GHz system.. but wonder if everyone else is faster/slower than my box?
It's kinda OT.. but not really..
Sorry AMD users.
pasam1 and I are going to go play somewhere else!
Oh, and iBook G3 700MHz, 640 MB SDRAM.

Fascinating.. seems like my machine is right about the low-midrange of most Tracktion users, but I feel like it's the slowest dog in the world! 
After some experimentation, it seems that my primary issue is my insane desire to stack multiple synths in a rack (Rhino and Kubik? Ouch!). Bouncing everything down to audio and deleting the MIDI tracks frees up enough CPU horsepower for 3 Final Mixers, a Voxengo CurveEQ, a Voxengo Elephant (High Quality) and still leaves me under 50% CPU!
Maybe I should go back to hardware, or playing guitar instead of all these VSTi.

I think stacking enough Kubiks and Rhinos in a rack could bring any computer to its kneeswoolyloach wrote:Fascinating.. seems like my machine is right about the low-midrange of most Tracktion users, but I feel like it's the slowest dog in the world!

. They sure sound good tho (I only have the demos). I joined the WusikStation group buy for this reason. It sounds incredible plus its CPU friendly.

AMD Athlon XP1700+/FSB266, 512MB DDR, audio-only W2K
I've also used Cubase VST/32 and SX1+2 on this setup, and never had CPU problems. My tracks are sparse when it comes to synths, and I don't use any biggies except Crystal... and if I start with fx before I've rendered tracks I never finish the song

I wanted to vote "Fish" because there is no Athlon XP (2800? dunno really) with a FSB of 333MHz listed 
but decided it may be "compatible" to the P4 @ 2GHz.
Weather a specific system is sufficient or not greatly depends on how you use it, so its very personal. If you want arguements for upgrading, its certainly not Tracktion itself that wants the CPU power, but its the plugins you drag on the tracks that consume CPU power. And the harddisk (and how you use it) is a potential weak link also, especially when dealing with lots of audio tracks or huge sample libraries.

piaz mothership :
celeron 1.2GHz (yep)
1Go SDR 100MHz
Emulator X (for CPU saving)
DMX6Fire (for playing games til Emu knows how to make a driver
)
WinXP SP2 with many profiles
Anybody for/against the miniMac to replace this ?(instead of another soon-to-be-dated Intel-like stuff in beige casing).
