Re: Questions on a contemporary gaming PC

My budget isn't particularly limited, but still I am a greedy one and want to think of a 'bang per buck'. That's why I thought of an used 16-core Opteron 6380 which is maybe $150-200 16 cores may be overkill for the desktop even in this day and age. Server applications are designed to scale with …

Re: Westwood Monopoly Roland SC-88 Recording?

Not too many people bought P2-450s or Barton 3200+ (400mhz FSB versions) because they were extremely expensive and could essentially be replicated (or exceeded in …

Early CM-32L/64 versus later models?

I was watching the PhilsComputerLab' comparison of the various Roland CM modules . In it, he goes over the 'clicking' bug, where earlier models of CM-32L and CM-64 devices would exhibit clicks/pops in certain MIDI songs. My question is how much of a detriment is this in practice, particularly when …
