[m i a o w] the cat

It’s been too sunny to blog. Which isn’t exactly true. I spent most of Friday in the garden with myself in the sun, the laptop in the shade, researching my recording rig - which is proving to be quite frustrating. It seems that new motherboards appear all the time - I am trying to track down one that is recommended by Bob Lentini (who is the inventor of SawPro, SawStudio etc).

So, for the geeks out there, this is what I have so far come up with in regard to what I’m after.
Seagate 8M IDE 120g x 2
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
Zalman CPU fan
1GB PC4200 DDR2 Corsair (2×512MB)
Matrox G450 DualHead video card (I know it’s old, I don’t care)
EMU 1820M
Coolermaster Real Power 450W Silent Power Supply
Intel P4-630 3.0G CPU 2MB Cache 775pin
GMC X-21 Trinity Case
Some CDRW

All I have so far is the EMU 1820M, which is the main thing. I am also thinking of an external hard drive usb case, but I’m a bit vague on what kind to get as I’m not sure what size normal Seagate IDE hard drives are… Am also wondering whether the CPU I have chosen is compatible with the motherboard, but it’s now midnight and I’m too tired to find out. Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow. Anyway, this is what has been occupying my brain for the past few days (as has Hell To Pay - a George P. Pelecanos novel which has held me spellbound for three days. It’s tres excellent…)

Try for a 631 CPU, it’s better, but I don’t know why. What chipset is the mobo? Apparently the Intel 81945P-G chipset is the one to have. Normal drives are 3 1/2 inch.
