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that, like mine: http://www.krispenhartung.com/gear.htm (it's already out
of
date...need to update this weekend)
