maybe a bit more RAM memory if you use a lot of software samplers (kontakt/atmosphere etc etc).
A better/faster processor would be nice too, 2200 is doable if you install your system properly, I'm still not having any problems with my 2500+ processor.
And most important imo, a better sound card, low latency is nice, low price is even better. M-audio audiophile 2496 is the cheapest solution out there with great quality. |

| yeah i would like to know what is the best and not the most expensive :P i was thinkg about buy sound card + midi keyboard instead of better proceor with mother board? or maybe its bad idea? |

well if you have CPU speed problems, then you'd better get a more powerful CPU yes :)
a keyboard is not necessary to produce, but if you dont have enough power you are "limited" to a certain number of instruments or FX. |

More RAM almost always makes a computer run faster.
Do you have good speakers?
You might want to get a SATA hdd if you don't have one yet. If you do have one, you could add two more and configure RAID 5. Hardware based RAID is best. |

The epox 8rda doesn't have SATA connectors tho.
The cheapest noticeable performance upgrade would be to get an Socket A Athlon XP 3000. It's still compatible with that motherboard. |
