Tim I’ll take a stab here. However, you
realize that this is also somewhat of a political question and there are MANY
motherboards out there. I have an ASUS micro I really don’t think that with XP
you have control over some of the parameters you have listed. I also don’t know whether dual cores
are available yet (I go through about a 3 year cycle now before I start
comparing MB’s and they come out daily and I am only at about 1.5 years
now). Obviously a dual core system it pretty slick rather than 2 processors on
board. Much more efficient on the die. My priorities on your list are: Cache as much as you can afford and is
offered. Although quite frankly I have never checked how much of that ultra
speed scratch is in use at any time! Memory? Sure go for it – Dual Access. Don’t wait to order the SDR. Your
questions sort of indicate you are a modder and probably have more than enough
to run the SDR. My MB is most certainly 1.5 years old and there are better out
there now. It loafs even with NAV and many other co-processes running at the
same time. You can always up the priority of
Powersdr.exe. Eric From: Hi all, I think my inquiry may have been lost in
the noise and fury of the e-mail barrage of the past two days, so I am
re-posting my request in the hopes that I can get some additional feedback on
my questions other than use LINUX. At this time LINUX isn’t an
option. Maybe it will be in the future. I really want to get my PC taken care of
so I can order my SDR1K and really join the fun! -Tim From: To all, I am starting to put together a PC system for use
with a SDR-1000 and PowerSDR I am planning to get in the near
future and had a couple of questions. What performance metric is most desirable in a CPU /
motherboard combination? I want to make sure I get a system
that will meet current and future performance needs. I have not done a
lot of research on the DLLs or libraries used, so I was hoping to get some
insight from those that know a lot more about the internal operation of
PowerSDR than I. Specifically, what is most to least important of the
following items (a ranking of sort): Floating point performance Integer operation Memory performance Multi-tasking performance CPU cache Graphics performance In addition to processor / motherboard metrics,
has
anyone used Windows XP Professional x64 with
PowerSDR? If so how did the WOW64
emulation handle PowerSDR and is there any advantage to using a
64-bit OS. Will PowerSDR be compiled to be a 64-bit app in the
future? Also, are there any known
compatibility issues with AMD processors? In advance, thanks for the information. 73 de W4TME --- 919.674.0044 Ext. 25 / 919.674.0045 (FAX) 919.215.6375 - cell >>> PGP public key available at all public
