Purchasing new PC for PTLE--Help, Opinions?

kdeuce · 19th March 2008, 04:00 PM

Greetings All,

I've recently moved into the realm of PTLE 7.4. Yes, it has its quirks but I love what it can do compared to the last version of Logic on the PC (5.5). Anyhoo, with a few reverbs, a bunch of other plugins, several vocalists per song, I'm close to maxing out the power and want a little more CPU "breathing room."

Here are current PC specs:

AMD Athlon 4200+ 64X2 dual core 2.2 GHz
3 GB RAM
ASUS A8N5X Mobo

AMD has been good to me but I'm leaning towards Intel and I'm curious about what newer Intel CPUs/Mobo combos are providing great stability & plug-in counts for PTLE.

Any suggestions, opinions? Thanks very much!!

I would buy a Intel quad you can snag a barebonz system at tiger
for 550

dual core is obsolete and AMD is going under......

Awesome--thanks Allen. Didn't even know Tiger had good barebonz deals. I'm checkin it out! Do you know if XP Home will "see" all cores, or does it even matter?

Anybody else? Please give your working, stable, high plug-in count Intel PC configurations with PTLE 7.4.

Thanks!!
