Spend the whole weekend at installing it, upgrading to the last available version and transferring my data to it, ouf....
Here are the specs of the machine, it's not a top of the bill configuration because it is build from a lot of parts that I allready had or got for free....
- ASUS motherboard with AMD SEMPRON 2800+ processor.
- Standard small case but with a silent power supply 500 W. The case has 2 supplementary small ventilators, who normally turn on 12V, but which I modified so they turn on 5V (less noise and still a good flow in the case)
- 500 gig harddisk, partionned following the tutorial of folderoll
- 2 GIG memory DDR3200
- M-audio firewire audio interface which runs great with jack&freebob (5.28 msec's latency)
- And finally 21'' TFT flatscreen
First test I did, was with Renoise, my favourite tracker, the biggest test demo song plays with a CPU load of 32%, which is about half of my old windows daw !
So very good result
And I can finally go back to making music...
and continu my AlsaModular synth tutorial of course
