Comp performance

For those who know about cpu performance. How can I get the BEST cpu performance on my comp ... I tweaked my comp acording 2 the music xp site.. But i still feel that i can do better ! If theres eny program u know , tweaks, tricks, sites plz givem 2 me

Coby

theres nothing else...i just keep everything well organized...keep samples on a seperate hard drive ( a fast one)...and every week or so i use Fixit to defrag, virus scan and all that junk....also use Spyboy Search and Destroy to scan for AdWare...it could be running off your RAM and thats not good...thats about all i can think of.peace.

U could always overclock it, as long as u have a good enough cooling system.

I solved this prob by just getting another computer with nothing but music on it. No MS word, no virus scans, no internet connection. It runs like a dream.

thx... The music only comp sounds like a realy good idea, wish i had the money

What is overclock ?!

dont overclock it

or you create another primary bootable partition on your hd, and install a music-only OS. i did it that way, got one system for work (WIN98SE), one for games (WIN98SE) and another one for music (WIN2k).
this works great, i can use my ASIO drivers for music, but on the other hand i can optimize my 'game' system with the latest 3D Audio drivers, Detonators and stuff.

overclocking is when you crank up the speed of the processor (mhz/ghz)

it can be done in many different ways depending on CPU-brand, mainboard and so on but one way that almost always works on todays computer is overclocking in BIOS

check in your BIOS or BIOS manual on how to do this...


overclocking is a perfect way to get the performance better but if you do it wrong you will instead end up with a burnt processor so make shure you have cooling enough for this...

mainrule I would say is...if you ain't got watercooling on your comp. you won't be able to gain enough performance to make it worth the time and effort in OC'ing...


I myself have a thumbrule about performance and stuff like that...why change it if it works

if you ain't got problems with performance than there's really no need to try and crank the performance up more than you already have

ya.. but i got problems with performance ..

Now i have p4 1.4 and 384 ram .. I wanna upgrade 2 p4 2.2 and 700+ ram .. I hope that will help with all the overlodes i get with cubase

coby u dont need more, im producing on a 233 mhz and 96 ram, and u have heard my productioons... just do bounce to loops and learn how to use the less cpu plugs...

I agree with vortex....that machine you got there is well enough to produce music....it's just a matter of how you use your gear

the more cpu power and ram you have , the less you have to bounce (which annoys me and takes time) ...so of course the more powerful the better....but you are right...with your current config. you can make tunes...just takes more time. late

i would get at least 1 gig of ram. One nice trick for more performance. Format a 2gig partition on your hard drive and use it for virtual memory. Change all the folders that windows uses for temp files to that 2 gig partition.

That sounds like a good idea .. What folders dos windows use for temp files ? .. and is there enything els i need 2 change in that paratition to make it for virtual memory ? ...

I got another question .. This one is for the cubase users :

Howcome when I get an overload in cubase , inlike logic it sticks and dosnt cool off after a while .. Every time i get an overload i need 2 restart the program. Is there eny way 2 fix this ? .. and alsow when I open the project im working on the performance meter starts at 20% .. Y is that ?!

PLz help

Enyone ?

Am i the only cubase user in this forum !?

no.. ur just the biggest wank0r in it..

ok...i'm not all genius with computers so this is my stupid computer question of the day...when you say partition...are you talking about how when you log on you can log on under different user name and settings???? i know i'm stupid hehehehe.

i use sx

A partition is a part of an HD. Say you have an HD of 40Gb, you could chose to use only one partition of 40Gb (probably named "C"), or more smaller partitions (named "C", "D", "E",..). A good program to create and manage such partitions is Partition Magic.

ok cool i'll look into that...i know that i have a c,d,e drive already, but more would help organize my computer...

new computer perhaps??? i have to agree organistaion is very helpful as all my stuff is very organised...that makes it more speedy.
