[dead] Which OS do you use for your DAW?
after exchanging my Intel CPU Q6600 with Q9550 I went through hell and back...
system first worked, then I experienced much trouble from boot to finish..
To make things short: seems like Windows XP service pack 3 doesnt like AHCI mode so much.
Now testing Windows 7 and systems seems to run stable in AHCI mode which is needed to run my harddiscs in NCQ mode.
Due to the fact, that all 32 bit plugins and hosts still wont see more then 2 ( or was it 3) gig of ram, I guess, a 64 bit system doesnt make sense when host or plugins are running in 32 bit mode.
Also I heardt that virtualisation is on the run: 32 bit Os like WIn XP 32bit can be loaded as virtual machine into a 64 bit host OS, so it is possible to use more then 4 gig under WIn XP 32bit.
So I got two simple questions: which OS do you use and second is: do you use NCQ ??
