I've been playing with 2.0.16 in demo mode, and really like it. So much
so that I am now looking (again!) at buying a 3000. The question now is,
is my PC good enough? I've read the KB article "What kind of computer
should I buy ...", and have come to the conclusion that my PC is below
the minimum requirements.
However, before I discard it completely for Flex use, here are some of
its capabilities:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dell 8300
Pentium 4A, 2533 MHz (4.75 x 533)
L2=512KB
Motherboard chipset: Intel Canterwood i875P
1GB Dual DDR SDRAM 333MHz
Video: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
Win XP Pro 32-bit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DPC Latency:
With no apps running: about 5uS
With 2.0.16 running: mostly 15-50uS, peaking very occasionally to
150uS max
2.0.16 CPU utilization (demo mode, no Flex hardware, 192kHz audio):
Mostly around 45-50%
With NB enabled: up to 90%
Bottom line: With no other apps running, is there any chance that this
will fly, if only as a stop-gap until I get a more suitable machine? Or
am I simply wasting my time?
