Mackilroy Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Looks like a very nice machine. I wouldn't change a thing unless you need a more capable GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchmagnet Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 No need for good video, it will be used for making music. There is no problem using SATA III is there? And there is no problem using the ex58A board instead of just the ex58? -just some concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackilroy Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It won't operate at SATA 3 speeds, but it'll still work. And I'm not 100 percent positive there are NO issues, but I do know that the X58A works, and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchmagnet Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Ok, I would like to go with the ex58a-ud3r instead of the ex58a-ud5. That should be fine too right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackilroy Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yes, it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I dont know why you prefer UD3R over UD5. I thought UD5 has the least compatible issue and a stronger board. Very Solid build with OC potential I just dont like the video card ( it works just fine ) . Toss in some extra bucks to get a 1gb card like GTS 250. You never know that a project may require some video editing . With a 1gb card you have an well rounded media rig , not just for protool or logic. It just my experience running a multi media production. Last week we had a local rapper came by to record and mix a song. While hanging around our studio he "happened" to see one of our editor working on a music video. He showed him some cool effects like optical glare and film like grading . The dude was sold on our 2 grand music video package. Its cool if you just do hit for hobby, but if you want to get gigs and deals you gotta have a big toolbox and a strong system to support it. I'm a video/photo guy, but hell, if its requested/required I would hop on protool and mixing like a mad man. So yeah , spend a little more (compare to your final price ) for a multi media investment. It will pay for itself, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackilroy Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 UD3R is cheaper, for one, and it will still work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
