Hi lanas said: > Since the thread veered on Intel CPUs, is it possible that no-one is > actually using an AMD dual-core CPU on Linux Audio ? I am currently setting up a 2 x dual core opteron box for audio work. The motherboard works well with Linux generally. It needs the reverse-engeineered forcedeth driver for the network card but it's already in all the distros I've tried (gentoo, ubuntu, debian, fedora, 64 studio). My vendor had to install a beta BIOS in order to get ethernet working on Ubuntu 6.06. Link: http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8we.html I'm afraid I can't comment on audio performance yet. I want to use the latest versions of the usual apps so I've been trying gentoo with pro-audio overlay. however I've found it very unstable. Ubuntu is stable but the apps are a bit behind the bleeding edge. Debian likewise. I wanted to try PlanetCCRMA but Fedora wouldn't install for some reason, never liked RedHat distros anyway. I'm now trying to get 64 studio working, but it doesn't like my stupid nvidia video card. I will persevere. Once I've got a stable, satisfactory setup I plan to post my experiences here.
