P4 3GHZ is nice...
I just built mine 2 months ago. It was that or a stupid mac g4 1.2..
My win. Macs loss.

Now you can load up Cubase sx with tons o reverb and vst instruments.

I gots to switch my profile. The clowns not funny anymore.

oh, I was thinking of buying one of those zalman processer fans...

is it really quiet
I bought the zalman power supply to keep my pc quiet
then the intel processer fan came with the p4 2.4c
it is almost screaming

I want the zalman silence in my processer too

so... should I just go and buy one tomorrow (it will take a while untill they bring it to france from korea anyway.)

does it really differ that much from a regular intel fan?

ya know i have a p4 2.5ghz Sony Vaio desktop...anyhoo i don't know what brand of fans i have but it's the quietest fan/power supply i've ever had. i was SO happy when I recieved it and I still get giddy over it today.

my 'old' computer is a amd XP 2100+ with the same ram specs and hard drive specs... and i never ran into the perf wall (even tho i do all my synthesis inside the computer)

this is just masterbation anymore..

and disastrato:
yeah its super quiet because you can turn down the RPMs really low... i have the zalman power supply too with adjustable fan speed... i just keep my system temps at the upper range of safe, just so i can be as quiet as possible.

congrats, my computer is dying slowly and i am a poor bastard...

yea yo

I was thinking about this

or this

but this is safer I guess, looking at the specs

there was a recent article somewheres that had all the newer quiet fans benchmarked..
i cannot find it.

I have read a lot in the previous months
I am going to buy the same one

"the zalman HSF is just beautiful."

another note:

what are you using?
os, apps?

are they hyper threading friendly?

geek cyber sex

well hyperthreading is just faking out the apps that there is two procs.. so if you're app is dual proc freindly it might be worth the try.

i'm gonna try it.

i use cubaseSX which when i used cubase 5 with my dually P3 system, there was a very nice boost. but apps like reaktor hated the dual proc.. so well see..
