Optimum system for DP8 on Windows

Post by Eddy Yates »

Assuming that MOTU extensively tested DP8 before they released it on Windows (yeah, I know...) can anyone find out exactly what computer config they used and what hardware, as well as any plugins tested. I'm about to get a new system and figure, well, if it worked for them, I should be able to get it to work, too. Right now, it's practically useless for the video work I do. I've posted about the major problems in other topics.
DP 8.06, Sonar X3e, Sony Sound Forge, Windows 7, 16 Gigs RAM, Intel Core i7 4.0 GHz, RME Hammerfall, UAD-2Duo, MOTU MIDI Express 128, MUSE Receptor VIP, Deagan Round-top Orchestral Bells, Yamaha S6 Concert Grand, Clavinet D6, UA 2-610

You might want to check with Magic Dave also. He's mentioned PC performance in a couple of older threads.
