    Herb,can you please tell us which motherboard and CPU are you having in mind for a 16Gb ram?

    thanks

    Motherboard: 6015A-NT
    Intel Xeon doubel processor 5160 - 3GHZ
    ECC Ram BC2 5300 677 MHZ CL5

    I would be satisfied with your current setup!  What are the specs of that machine, and how much cpu (%) did you use to work with 7+ gigs of ram loaded.  Looking forward to Ensemble

    Herb, This...is great news, how soon can we expect the MAc version? thanx, SvK

    I know it's not out yet, but have the VSL Team also been working with OSX Leopard (out tomorrow!) and will this let us use 8gb or more on our MACs? Also will VE work with Logic 8 out the box? TIA Tim

    Read the announcement in the Preview infos thread. Most of your questions are answered there.

    Doh - yes I should have checked there first. Thanks DG


    I wonder Herb how long does it take to actually load a tempalte with that many samples in? Minutes/Hours?

    I think that with a fastish PC (this thread is about PCs after all) it takes around 7 minutes, if I remember correctly. Of course, you have to discount the first load, as time is lost scanning the dongle for licences.

    it's an appr. 1 year old ASUS P5W Pentium D 3,4 (not core 2 duo) FSB 800 4 x 2 GB non ECC RAM DDR2 533 w/ a bunch of raptors ...

    depending on loaded matices you can expect 1-3% CPU per instance (instrument)

     

    a very good and pricy solution turned up to be also the intel S3000 and S5000 boards (-8 GB nonECC, -16 GB ECC) because of their mixed PCI/PCIe architecture

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    I took your specs and planned a system on them. I have some questions.

    1. How loud is Herb's present system and is it in a rack or midtower?

    2. Have you heard the Supermicro unit to determine how loud the fans and the power supply are since it comes with its own ps?

    3. In your best judgment can the Supermicro 1U be used in the studio or should it be in a separate machine room?

    4. I want to really clarify loading 112,000 samples. If an average matrix is 4000 samples, does this mean you can load 20+ Instruments? On the Supermicro, does this mean 40 instruments? Is this suggesting that by moving to XP64 system with 16GB of RAM that a user would potentially only need one (1) computer dedicated to the VI cube?

    5. With memory being loaded into RAM, what impact does using Raptors have over a 750GB at 7500RPM?

    6. The processor you picked is valued at $1100US. With that processor, what performance gain are you really expecting to get?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Peter, we meet again on yet another forum! To be fair to Herb, the system he has listed is the 1U server version - you could alternatively just buy the motherboard in standard ATX format and then put it in whatever case you wished.... particularly as they have recently launched one capable of 32Gb..... tempting!
