I have just ordered my new DAW and I am expecting it to come in this week!


My new DAW:
P4 2.4GHz 512k 533FSB
Asus P4T533-C
2x512MB RDRAM PC800
40GB IBM 120GXP (OS files)
120GB IBM 120GXP (dedicated to audio)
Teac CDRW
Matrox G550
Pulsar 1 (when I have the money I ll add an SRB)
Questions
1) ACPI or standard PC? Which is more stable? Which performs best?
2) For the OS hard disk should I go for NTFS or FAT32? (40GB)
3) Same question as the previous one, regarding the Audio disk (120GB)
4) What cluster size for each disk.
Take into account that I will use this PC only for audio. No net surfing, no video editing, no dual-booting for Win98.
My answers to the above questions to the best of my knowledge (or should I say to my ignorance?) are:
1) standard PC
2)NTFS for OS
3) FAT32 for audio
4) small clusters for the OS disk and large ones for the audio disk
Please let me know what you think. Your views will be highly appreciated
