Hi!
Im going to build a new computer to use in my home studio. I`ve put together a list of hardware, and was hoping you guys could give me some comments. Both on performance, and compatability with ubuntu studio. I am not quite sure whether I should choose intel or amd. What do you think? I was also considering putting in an western digital velociraptor harddrive. Would that increase music production performance? Might be a bit noisy?
All thoughts are appreciated!
Btw I am planning to use my firewire edirol fa-66 soundcard
Hardware list:
-Arctic Cooling Silentum T3 Eco 80, retail (PC-ST3E-AC-01)
-Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev 2 Socket 775/ AM2/ 1366 (UCACO-P0900-CSB01)
-ASUS M4A785TD Motherboard (M4A785TD-V EVO)
-AMD PHENOM II X4 955 BLACK EDITION 3.2 GHZ CACHE=8MB AM3 125W RETAIL (HDZ955FBGIBOX)
-CORSAIR 4gb (KIT) DDR3 1333MHz/ CL9/ XMS3-10600 Matched XMS3 with New Classic Heat Spreader (TW3X4G1333C9A)
