from the RME site regarding the nforce4 chipset.

I've tested my system based to NF4 [see this tread: http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... orum=19&29 ]
with these benchmarks, Thonex & Fudd:[ http://www.adkproaudio.com/benchmarks.cfm ] and all seems to comply with the adkproaudio average result charts.
In Thonex test at 7ms all goes ok until the last track addition (some gliches appeared), howewer a good result. CPU usage 85%.
Fudd is a more heavy test: uses CPU around 90%-99% [task manager meter] another good result.

Yes, but I'm talking about this "misterious" Nforce4 PCI incompatibility... in my system is all ok!

I didn't have good results with NF4, even with an RME Hammerfall DSP system, which is much less picky about hardware than Scope. I had lots of crackles, especially when using graphics-intensive functions (try moving windows around/minimizing/maximizing windows, switching between apps etc).

However I must add that this was an SLI board - non-SLI NF4 boards may be okay.

I still recommend Nforce3 and single-core for ultimate reliability and proven technology. I've used PCs for a long time, and IMHO it's better to have a stable, solid system than be on the bleeding edge of technology full of unknowns.
