As I promised a few days ago, I will let you know about my experience with this board. Let me tell you the good news first: this board is the most stable and best performing board I have ever had!!!
My configuration:
Athlon XP2000+, boxed
Asus A7N266-C, Bios 1003 (updated)
Windows XP
512 RAM (2x256)
IBM 40GB
IBM 60GB
DVD 16X
Matrox Millenium G550
PulsarII, SFP 3.1a
Cubase SX (registered version)
I can load 9 MV (and use them) with a latency of 4ms. With the 10th MV I get the DSP-Warning but can go on loading the effect.
As I am using Pulsar only in XTC-Mode with SX (which is an amazing and very comfortable new platform !!!!!) I am very happy about these results. My setups usually include 3-4 instruments in HALion, 1 or 2 FM7, Steinberg A1 and of course Lightwave, Inferno and sometimes a third Creamware Softsynth. All the guitars and vocals are recorded live on 3-4 stereotracks. I am mastering my recordings with an Equalizer and Optimaster. Dithering via UV22HR. Believe it or not: I can do this without any crackling or scratches LIVE! I am recording this setup with full automation directly via SPDIF into a standalone CD-Burner. The sound is absolutely professional.
If anybody out there thinks about buying a new board, then go for the Asus A7N266-C. I think it is the best buy for Pulsar Users today.
