[Ardour-Users] Motherboard hints and tips?

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

Two machines here, one 32-bit distro (JAD), one 64-bit (64 Studio). Both 
with Gigabyte mobos, no problems from the boards.

Both boards are mounted in Antec cases. The Sonata II is the quieter 
case, by far. I'll eventually replace the other case with another Sonata II.

CPUs are AMD64 3200+ and 3800+, both with Zalman fans. The 3800 is 
running in 32-bit mode only (for the JAD box).

Drives are SATA, 230 GB and 320 GB.

Video cards are nVidia 7600GS, both fanless.

Both boxes have M-Audio Delta 66 audio interfaces and either an SBLive 
or PCI128 (for external MIDI connections).

Best,
