i´m curious how much faster my system will be.
if anyone on this board has this processor please tell me how many reverb32 (cubase) you can load at once.

thanks

I,ve Upgraded my system some time ago from
a PIII,tualatin 1133MHz/256k L2 to a PIII,tua
latin 1266MHz/512k the difference was astonishing. All the heavy CPU load plugins
which slowed my system down now just are tickling my System performance meter in logic. I'm using a Asus TUSL-2C with 512Mb
and I easy run 4 to 5 Atmospheres ,7 to 8
Stylus and 12 to 16 EXS 24,together with a
fully loaded Scope/SP+Pulsar1 and several tracks of audio. Most of my latest songs have
more than 24 tracks all seperately over 32 or
64 asio channels together with most of the time 2 or 3 pulsar synths. ( I use the scope mostly for mixing and compression,with the
awesome Vinco)and a few Masterverbs and/or
masterverbs pro.
I hope this helped you. I'm also looking for a 1400/512 processor for a friend of me,so if you now where to get it please drop me an email. giovanni@trance.org

thanks for your answer. but you don´t have cubase 5.1 on your system to try out a reverb test?
anyway, it seems the tualatin with 512kb cache is the money worth.

i have found a german seller (i guess it´s the cheapest in germany, also look at ebay)

I have Cubase Sx on my system ,but I didn't find the time to check this reverbthing.
Partly because this reverb sounds more like a delay/chorus or something like that.
When I'm behind my pc I'm mostly writing
songs or checking out/testing software and creating sounds. But I saw you get the picture

giovanni, what latency can you use without having crackles?
