For my Audio Appliactions like Reason and Samplitude( but later perhaps Cubase ) I am considering a new board with a cpu at least as twice as fast as my Intel Celeron with 600Mhz...
Which AMD / Intel do you recommened for me ?

it depends on how much you can spend :D
just tell me how much you have and I'll check it up :) |

There's no debate that AMD make a better processor, they just can't keep up speed wise to Intel.
To me, there's always 2 issues to look at. Price and Heat production. Intel CPUs cost a lot more than AMD CPUs but tend to run a lot cooler even with a stock heatsink, in retrospect AMD CPUs are cheap and fast but do produce quite a bit of heat, stock heatsink or not.
Keep in mind that any amount you spend for a P4 (Unless its the new 2.8ghz p4s), you could buy an athlon for cheaper and it could outperform it. You could also buy a 1.6A P4 which sould be cheap now and o/c it 2.2 or 2.4 with no hassles (stock cooling). |

I dont know much about all theys other prosessor. I'll be geting my P4 2ghz this weekend (i might be scraping the heatsink for watercooling)
anyway i will let you guys know how cubase runs on it, eather way it will run better then on my P1 233mhz.

Im getting my new pc this weekend, well the box, processor, ram and motherboard. Iv got at the mo a P3 450 which i run reaon 2 and cubase 5 alongside each other using rewire. I also have a virus being played into a delta 44 in realtime. This really shouldnt work on such a slow machine but somehow it manages it.
This weekend tho for £500 im getting an AMD XP 2200 with a gig of DDR ram, ill keep you informed of how it performs.
Uhm....
God works !!! |

| Got ma comp yesterday, bin trying to put it together, spent 3 hours trying to work out why it just beeped at me when i turned it on. Turns out the twats that put it together hadnt pushed the graphics card in properly, twats.:whip: |

I can spend a maximum of 200 Euro for upgrading my Celeron 600Mhz.
Problems: I need new Ram ( 128 Mb at least ), a new midi card, ( I got ISA Bus for my old Soundcard ), and a new motherboard...
A AMD processor means getting a stronger power suply...
Any ideas ?

| Thats a tall order, i dont think you can, rekon you'll need at least double that. |

| AMD Durons are very good for the money, they are nearly as powerful as an equally speed-rated Pentium III. |

athlon will stomp the pizz out of any intel you throw @ it... :D
just get you a farkin phat heatsink...
current rigup i use::
athlon xp 2000+
1024mb ddr pc2700 333mhz
ata/133 80.0gig hd **maxtor rocks :D:D
40x12x48x cdrw
52x cdrom
ati radeon 9000 pro 64mb ddr vid
m-audio delta 1010
6 usb 2.0 ports
2 firewire ports
my comp has never exceeded 88 degrees F...super cool w/ a volcano 5 heatsink & spreader on the memory |

for your budget, get AMD athlon.

farkin sweet, lexiconave :D :D i wouldn't use a maxtor hard drive though, seagate and IBM are lots more reliable. |

actually, the pentium 4's outperform the athlon xp's in most applicatoins.

although, the athlon has more raw power, intel's chips are just too fast now for AMD to compete until they release their new chips. |
