Greetings !


I asked these question(s) from many people and AMD's technical support section,
but i couldnt take a real answer, i hope this place be final

i'm looking for setup a Pro computer for mix and compose music projects ,
i had a research from (AMD,Apple and intel).

intel was really poor i used P4 2.4 whit 1GB ram in nuendo
it just could mix 15 tracks successfully whit correct sounds.

Apple is great but it's expensive and hard to find all of the VsTi and other
programs that are compatible whit it, but Amd Opteron appears cool and better than Dual Xeon.

1)what's your recommend cpu ( or dual cpu) and mainborad for use in projects
that they are about 50 channels (audio tracks+vst plug ins,...) or more and
need +3 FX-insert plug_ins per channel?

2)Can windows Xp 64bit Edition support Dual Opteron?


sorry for my bad english
thanks

Best thing would be to find a reseller who specializes in the industry. A couple are listed on this web page: AMD Opteron™ Processor Powers Three New Digital Audio Workstations' ">http://www.amd.com/us-en/Proce...288_7146_10985,00.html

Yes, Windows XP 64bit Edition supports dual Opterons. (Windows XP Professional does it as well).

A dual CPU system won't boost the performance for your task as long as the software you will use does not support dual or multi CPU systems.
So if the software is capable of using multiple CPUs: Go for a dual CPU setup. If not you may also look for a cheaper system. Maybe an AthlonFX-55 or something like this.

Have a look at the Nuendo forum. You will find your answer there wether you decide Intel or AMD opteron. Both processors build great DAW's
