Well I just played on the fastest PC I ever had my hands on.
It is the Asus P6X58 w/ the i7 920 OC'd to 3.6GHz and the OCZ RAM was 1600 @ CAS7.
It had the new Raptor and an SSD 4 OS+Apps.
I never figured I would see a big difference in 32bit Windows 7, but I have to have this combo.
My newest 1U i3 530 is a fast streamer but it gags when I add VSTi's and Kontakt together.
It gags because of the memory controller taking second to the built in GPU.
The built in VGA is nice and works well as long as the CPU isn't in demand for a VSTi like Omni or Zebra.
Since I am feverish for Flexor as a VSTi I am going to need an i7.
But I tell you what the SATA III HDD is ferocious and faster than anything I ever saw beside a USB 3,0 RAID stick.
Intel can take their standard and stuff it.
There cannot be anything as fast as this beast I just played on.
Oh and BTW, Omnispher is pretty cool, but Modular and some custom scripts and samples from Kontakt has a better sound quality.
But Omni sure has some cool concepts and is really deep. A very impressive all in one VSTi synth.

Yes, as I've requested elsewhere over the past year....XITE-1/4LIVE wrote:Oh and BTW, Omnispher is pretty cool, but Modular and some custom scripts and samples from Kontakt has a better sound quality.

With a proper phrase-based arpeggiator (like an Arpeg03?), and a good tempo latch-to-host module, and an updated STS, I agree the Modular with these could easily rival Omnisphere - at least as far as the synths and filters are concerned. All the other fire-pianos and ebowed banjos can wait.
Congrats on the new system. The i7 is a good processor, and the extra RAM will come in handy over this next development cycle.
