Hehe... now I have a visual of you standing in a room, goggles on, wires
hanging off you, dogs sniffing at your ankles, feeling for your control 16
while tripping over leads you can't see...

....come on, surely we can find a hi res pair! ;o)

Cheers,

Aaron,

What is the recommendation for video card on XP? I need to run three
monitors. I'm currently using the Matrox to run two.

thanks!

(245) 16MB Matrox G450 (Dual Monitor) 4x AGP Video Card --1+ $ 7.49

These should load up in WinXP w/o and drivers from Matrox, and that's how I
recommend you do it. I'm posting this mainly for the Win ME/98 crowd
though.... seemed to play much better in that OS. This is not the same as
the 32Mb version of this model but if you've been counting pennies to go
Dual Monitor or already have one and need a backup, this is probably as good
as it's gonna get for those situations.

PS: I only started buying from this vendor recently, but I've had no
troubles at all so far and they deal with older (ahem.. vintage) computer
parts mostly that I can see - which is perfect for a Parisite.

------=_NextPart_000_001D_01C67153.31B02710--Spent the day loading and registering software. At one point, I was about
1/3 of the way through and somehow encountered a C37 error. You do not want
a C37 error. C37 error = suckage to the nth degree because, in my case, my
CDR drivers cold not be initialized by windows and this sorta put a dent in
the software loading routine. After warring with the C37 error for about 2
hours, I had to restore from a Ghost image and start over with the whole
enchilada.

All applications, drivers and VSTi's are working properly. I'm ghosting this
puppy before I go to bed tonight. Tomorrow we'll see if this ordeal has
solved the problem with crackling audio in SX when using 4 x UAD-1 cards.
I've reconfigured a lot of stuff and hopefully I've got my PCI bus overload
situation ussed...................hopefully.

Stay tuned for possible gnashing of teeth/rending of garments
tomorrow.........wait.....it's already today for some of you
guys..........so whatever.

;o)Jamie,

I'm sold!!! Those Dual core Macs (iMacs 7 Powerbooks) are killer!! They had
Logic Audio Pro 7.2 loaded on the iMac 20inch, and man!! I never seen Logic
run like that before!! Smooth, smooth smooth... The demo was an audio/video
post mock up. Slick!!

No offense to Dual G5 owners, but MAcs with the Dual-core processors are
in a different league.No kidding. Now, Logic feels more sleeker.. Even on
our Dual 2.5's OSx, Logic Audio 7,just does seem perky, smooth..But, on a
dual-core intel, different animal. I URGE all Mac Logic Audio users to get
a Dual Core Intel Mac..

Part2: Then they rebotted the iMAc into WinXP Pro..They did not have a Pro
Audio app on it, however every could tell that this iMac was running WinXp
pro faster than any of us has ssen is good while..
One could only imagine if Apple would've gone with AMD and had Dual core
Opterons..!!! Yikes!!

All in all, for those of us who want to run Logic audio Pro, as well as run
or PC DAW apps and plugs, getting into a Mac now makes good sense..
Take care
