Hi,
i want to buy a new music pc for my pulsar 2
(maybe + one Scope).
My question is :is anybody outthere who can
run the Pulsar on 96hz and can also use the 32 bit Asiodriver withput problems like the
lethal "PCI Masteroverflow" ?
I heard that the bus is not faster today.The hole machines are getting faster but the busbandwidth is the same .
When "you" can do it ,what is your system?
Thanks

3GIO (PCI Express) will replace PCI and AGP 8x soon (Intel will include support for 3GIO from 2004; they hope )

But will our equipement support it?

My advice is to go for a ASUS P4 PC
I would suggest a large Aluminium Case for best cooling, and a quiet powersupply.
When using DSP card(s) I dont think the difference in a P4 2Mhz and a 3Mhz is very significance. Most of the differece can be made up for with RAM (correct me if I'm wrong)

I have a (homemade) ASUS P4PE - P4 2,4 Mhz
WINXP PC, 512MB RAM, Matrox 450 and S-ATA disc. I use 44,1 / 32 bit (so far), but my PC is only 3hours short of running steady for 3 WEEKS now. It is quiet, and i love that box:-).
I guess 96Mhz will be used as soon as i can burn 5.1 dvd's from my prosjects (soon i hope )

Hi,
can you make a recording by 96 Mhz/32 Bit?
Tell me if it works please.Maybe put some Masterverb on.
I want to go with P4P 800/DDR 400 but i dont
want to have the surprize that the Pulsar 2
will eat the Pci bus and my money.
I apreciate in advance.

i just setup a test project with
2 ASIO 32 Source 64 inn (and Z-link source for my guitar)
2 ASIO 2 Dest 64 and a Analog dest to speakers
I record 3 * 30sec stereo track, no problems
Each track is 96MHz / 32 bit stereo Broadcast wave - about 22-23 MB in size

Enjoy this, I changed settings and project without need to restart, and SFP has been running steady for 21day 17hour now
.... hope this is the "answer" you want

hello arela... do you using any A/D converter to record 96khz/32bit or 24bit?

Hi firubbi
I play el guitar thru a V-Amp (Behringer)
into my Luna 24/96. So yes, the luna box is a A/D converter, but i could do the same straight into the card (I think)and used cards converters

That sounds cool in my ears.Stay tuned and
when(hoppely not)you have any problems tell
me what kind of them.
I have about 3 weeks time ,than i can put my
Pulsar into a PC (P4;P4P800;DDR 400)from my friend and check it out ,it will be amaising
for me when i finally could ride out my card
(and maybe one more Scope at the same time)
by 96/32 .Am i greedy?Oooooooooohhhhh noooooo !!!!.)

I just let you know: I have an used pc standing here, ready to run SFP
But i guess Norway is too fare...he he he.
Anyway - good luck........z u here...
