Re: Xeon X5680s Now $45... October 2018

You know, the delidding process I don't think is all that bad. I did them myself with the "vise method" Yeah James, I remember your horror story about the sanding! I am remembering you ended up going to box185 on eBay, he was the guy who did mine. He had a great set-up, we had a coffee a ...

Re: Xeon X5680s Now $45... October 2018

I am trying to figure out if it is worth it to upgrade from dual 2.93ghz Xeon 5670s to dual 3.33ghz Xeon 5680s. Pretty nominal (13%) speed bump there. OTOH, you could try the self-delidding approach... Hey HC, thanks for the reply and thanks for the feedback and suggestion. Sounds like if I am goin...

Re: Xeon X5680s Now $45... October 2018

I am trying to figure out if it is worth it to upgrade from dual 2.93ghz Xeon 5670s to dual 3.33ghz Xeon 5680s. My flashed 4,1 is still plugging away and is still handling whatever I throw at it. Benchmarks seem pretty similar, geekbench ones are in the middle of the page: X5680 vs X5670 http://cpub...

Re: DP 10 made me upgrade to El Capitan

Loved Yosemite, hated El Capitan, found love again with High Sierra. Of course your mileage may vary.

Have Mojave on my “regular drive”. High Sierra on the music drive.

Re: Can somebody explain Vienna Ensemble Pro licensing to me

HI Killahurts: Yes having all my instruments loaded up that way would be great! My 12 core Mac Pro has been pretty good as well with DP 9.52, but I have picked up some pretty heavy CPU intensive stuff in the last six months. I really don't see getting a new mac for a long while. but I have these ext...

Re: Can somebody explain Vienna Ensemble Pro licensing to me

Michael: Thanks so much, that clarifies everything. Really appreciate it! You wrote: “If you decided to run VEP on the same computer as DP, (there are reasons to do this)” That is what I have read, but my search on the net didn’t really come up with much concrete. I do recall reading threads here fr...

Re: Lack of supported Windows10 Drivers

Hi Joachip:

I just got a “new” used Windows 10 machine that has a PCI slot for my old PCI 424.

Can you tell me which driver you installed?

Was it this one?

MOTU Audio Installer v4.0.6.6814 (Release Date 2015-10-28)

Thanks!

Re: FWIW, I did install Mojave on my Mac Pro 2009 (upgraded

The fact your RX560 is working (and it's not the exact one Apple lists as "approved") gives me hope my Gigabyte RX 460 4GB will work, too. I'm curious which port(s) on the GPU are you using; HDMI, DP and/or DVI? I'm using all three ports of the RX560 DP with a DP to HDMI adaptor to a wide...
