ciao a tutti.
devo comprare un nuovo PC per fare mix audio con pro tools.

partendo da questi componenti mi aiutate a scegliere la scheda madre e la scheda grafica????

[1] CPU P4 24 GHZ SOCKET 478 533 MHZ
[3] 2xMODULO DIMM DDR 512 MB PC2700 333 MHZ 184 PIN
[4] 2xhard disk MAXTOR 120 GB 7200 RPM DIAMONDMAX PLUS 9 UDMA 133
[6] lettore cd/dvd economico (LG o simili)
[7] floppy 3,5"

io ho già, monitor, tastiere, mouse, case, ventole, casse, scanner,
stampante e scheda audio.

la scheda madre la voglio dell'asus che
non dovrebbe avere problemi di compatibilità con l'hw di pro tools a parte l'"Intel
HyperThreading" che deve essere disabilitato da bios.

ah, ci sono schede con almeno 4usb separate (quindi non hub)????

allego i requisiti per la motherboard e per il resto

tnx!!!!
