hi!
i was take a look at what a new PC for pulsars should be assembled and would cost...
i see that a lot of new MoBo has PCI express and 3 old PCI slots, as for example
Asus P5AD2-E Deluxe motherboard
ASUS P5 AD2 E Premium
found in the masterverb test thread.
BUT my big problem is that i would need AT LEAST 4 PCI slots, since i have 3 creamware card and a soudnblaster, which i use for additional midi IN/OUT (2in, 1 out)...
is there a good MoBo (good for CW cards!) with CPU support over 3GHz (LGA775 anyone?), FSB800 and 2 GB ram support, better with onboard videocard and perhaps a serial ata connector?
i suppose i won't need PCI express for a long time, since i don't plan to change my creamware cards even if crewamware should produce a PCIx card (dont' have money to spend ALSO on this... and my setup is working fine!!
)
this pc would be used only for audio and normal PC task (office, internet, multimedia, etc...) not for extreme games!
removing the good old soundblaster woul mean to spend on an external USB midi interface OR to remove part of my hardware, which would make me very sad!!
