hm there is not much need to go scsi for the hdd, i have a maxtor diamondmax60 at 7200rpm with an average seek of less than 9ms. slower = quieter. but if you are familiar or need scsi then go for it i guess.. i havent tried xp for audio but win2k is really good imo. what mobo are you looking at? im not too sure but i think that there are some compatibility issues with ALi chipsets and some sound cards. may want to check into that.

I've done a little homework, and I have a basic idea of what I think I need for my computer setup, but I want to run it past all you headz first to see if you think this set-up will work without a hitch for music production with Logic Audio. Here's what I'm thinking of getting: 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon 10,000 rpm SCSI drive average seek speed under 10ms .5-1GB DDR SDRam M-audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard Windows XP OS So what do you think? Anything you would recommend I change or add? Is there a specific type of CDRW I should get or a specific cooling fan or something? For further reference, here is the equipment I will be using it with: Korg MS2000 Virtual Analog synth Roland SP808ex phrase sampler Roland JV1010 sound module Alesis airFX Alesis airSynth (on order) Alesis nanocompressor Technics P30 digital piano Alesis MKI monitors with amp Behringer 8-channel Mixer I've learned a ton from this list already that I'm very grateful for. Any extra advice you can give me on this issue will be greatly appreciated too. easy. -Cory __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
