Shizzle to the Nizzle
Morning!
I'd like to upgrade my PC, as I'm sick and tired of Cubase SX 3 getting overworked by the plethora of power-hungry plugins that I'm using.
Current Specs:
Pentium 4 - 2.6 Ghz
1 GB of RAM
Shuttle SB61 G2 Motherboard (not amazing, but does the trick)
Win XP Professional
M-Audio Delta soundcard (2 in 2 out, not the 10 one)
So....
What is likely to make the most noticable difference to Cubase SX 3's ability to handle lots of VSTs running at once?
Is upgrading from a P4 2.6 to a 3.2 really going to make that much of a difference?
Would I be better of shoving another Gig of RAM into the PC instead?
I'd like to do both, but then all my friends and family will get soap-on-a-rope and new socks for their Christmas presents instead of something decent. I'd like to think I'm nicer than that.
Although.... :iwink:
Any tips gratefully received! :iyes:
