Only a few years ago, there was a large number of people who did that, use a machine that wasn't good enough for windows. However as you have pointed out that is no longer true. My desktop computer is 10 years old or so (P4) and still works fine for recording multi-track audio. In fact there are people having more problems with new HW than I do. My piggy bank is in no shaoe to buy new HW, but I have been looking at where I want to go when I can. I will start from the MB and build. I will be looking for a MB and cpu that is good for low latency, something speed and memory do not guarantee. In fact, low latency can slow a computer through put down. For example, I get lower latency by turning hyperthreading off. The desktop is a little slower, but I can get <1ms latency thought jack without xruns with guitarix running. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
