Re: My Thanksgiving Vacation Project: Building a new looping computer w/Core 2 Duo

Yeah, that duo core 2 performs something 40% more efficiently than the 
first 
duo core processors.  What the hell are you going to do with all that 
horse 
power, man? : ) Are you going to write a program that solves the 
mathematical riddles of the universe?  Oh sorry, I think MAX does that....

I can't even get my duo core to go over 55% processor utilization...and 
that's with stacking reaktor vst, mobius vst, reverb, delay, amp, and 
chorus 
vst's, and some other high power vst effect, like PSP84.

Cool page, Simon. I thinki everyone should post their rig on a webpage 
like 
that, like mine: http://www.krispenhartung.com/gear.htm (it's already out 
of 
date...need to update this weekend)
