]]> Comment on P5E motherboard seems to fix everything by elmooarno http://csound.wordpress.com/2008/01/04/p5e-motherboard-seems-to-fix-everything/#comment-21 elmooarno Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:29:55 +0000 http://csound.wordpress.com/2008/01/04/p5e-motherboard-seems-to-fix-everything/#comment-21 Originally, the vendor who built my pc recommended adding a jumper "opt1" to the installed WD SATA drive. After more reports from their users, apparently, they determined that there were too many other problems being seen with the P5K mobo, so they offered to exchange it for no cost. Even though it cost me another couple weeks in shipping time, I'm happy now with the performance and (so far) the stability of the resulting system. You might also want to look on various message boards, like ASUS own one, silentpcreview.com, or any where they're building PCs for audio use and see what people are saying there. On Csound in Linux: I think it's a great idea for an experimenter or visionary. At my age and situation in life, I get a little frustrated and want some semi-instant gratification which is probably why I use Ableton Live most of the time...and of course, the Csound forums themselves are good places to ask questions and learn.

Of particular interest is the fact that you settled on the same mobo/proc combo that I was planning on using, with the Q6600 and the P5K. Looks like you've had some troubles with the P5K. Do you know if those troubles are restricted to the particular HD vendor? I was thinking of getting Seagate SATA drives as opposed to the Western Digital ones. Also, it looks like the P5E supports 1600MHz frontside bus. Since the P5K doesn't, I assume that means your replacement solution was more expensive than the one you originally tried? One last thing... I haven't looked a whole lot at Csound but it sounds interesting. Looks like your new DAW is an XP machine, were you also going to use Csound in linux? Since I'm building a machine from scratch and have plenty of linux experience, I was thinking it might be time to build a full-fledged linux DAW, or at least a dual-boot XP/linux DAW. Have you done this? Sorry for the longwinded reply. If these questions would be better served in a forum somewhere, just tell me where to go. :) Thanks.
