computer help
PostPosted:Wed Feb 23, 2005 12:17 am
so i got the cash i was talking about earlier, i'm planning to invest some and buy a bomb-ass computer with the rest.
i have about three grand to buy computer components with. that does include everything however.
my goals are programming/gaming/hobbyist audio production.
the main things to figure out, as usual, are:
motherboard
cpu
memory
hard drive
sound card
graphics card
monitor
speakers
and possibly printer.
the biggest question i have in the immediate moment is: will professional audio cards (midiman etc.) work for pc gaming also? I REALLY really want to get some nice sounding MIDI but i also want to be able to play half-life 2 and etc without problems.
but any other advice would be great too.
