A New Computer (redux)

Posted by – September 28, 2005

Nothing new here, just my realization that I REALLY need a new computer. I can’t handle all of the problems I am currently experiencing. For your information, a list:

  1. Computer, occasionaly, will not start
  2. Mouse quits working (XP loses the connection to the USB device)
  3. Way, way, way too much latency when trying to play a virtual instrument in Sonar via MIDI
  4. Sonar locks up, this really makes creating music difficult
  5. Computer freezes for no apparent reason

I suppose that list isn’t too awfully long, but some of those items really bother me. I have decided to build a dedicated music PC. No development software, no Photoshop. A PC solely dedicated to creating music. I am thinking about using Windows XP x64 and Sonar 5 (which works on a 63 bit system). I may be jumping the gun going to 64 bit, but how else will I ensure that my frustration level stays the same! Hopefully my hardware requirements will not differ too much from those of my previous post on the subject.
