Want to assemble a quad-core computer, first talk about configuration, better performance and cheaper price!

I once published an article about the choice of audio computers, but now it seems a bit outdated and needs to be updated later. But recently, many netizens need to configure computers. I'm also here to tell you my suggestions, which may of course be one-sided. If you think it's wrong, point it out.

Well, before we start, I still suggest that if conditions permit, the computers at work should be separated from those on the Internet.

Now many families have two computers, so the new computer can be used for audio.

CPU: A Pentium dual-core E2 180 computer was installed in June. This is a dual-core 2G frequency. It was over 400 when I bought it. In fact, this u is very cost-effective. Pentium is not as good as Core 2, but the overall competition is better. So, if you don't want to spend too much money on U, you might as well consider the Pentium dual-core of the low-end E2xxx series, which has good performance. If you have some money, you can consider the Core 2 series. If you have more money, you can use the Core 2 quad-core processor. Performance is quite strong! As for those who like AMD products, I won't recommend them because I'm not interested in AMD products. All right, that's it.

Memory: Now the memory is the price of cabbage, and the price of 2G is only about 200. You can buy one or two. Recommend Kingston's, compatibility and performance are not bad. Note that the frequency should be at least 667Mhz and 800Mhz is the best choice. After all, it is the mainstream. Remember to choose a higher frequency. Of course, the choice of frequency should also be supported by the motherboard.

Hard disk: At present, single disk storage of 320G audio has the most stable performance and the highest cost performance, and the price is in the early stage of 400 yuan. Why choose a single disc 320G? Because if you have two single-disk 160G dual-disk hard disks, although the capacity is the same as that of a single-disk 320G hard disk, the performance and reading and writing speed are different, so you should choose a faster hard disk. I bought two Seagate 320G stereos, which are very stable. The model number is 7200. 1 1. If you see the model number is 7200. 10, it is a dual-disc 320G. Don't buy it. The following decimal 1 1 refers to 1 1 this generation. Of course, in addition to Seagate's, the western data is also good. As for other brands, I haven't used them, so it's not easy to express my opinions. My principle is to buy the strongest technical strength. Last but not least, buy SATA interface instead of IDE, which is out of date. In addition, if possible, it is best to have two hard disks, one for storing systems and software, and the other for storing working documents and materials.

Motherboard: Motherboard is compatible with CPU. If you choose Intel U, you can choose the motherboard of Intel chipset, such as P35. AMD chose AMD's motherboard. But remember a few parameters: as many USB ports as possible, because more peripheral devices can be connected; It is best to have a fire line port, which can be connected with fire line equipment; Support as many SATA and IDE slots as possible, and connect more hard disks and optical drives; There are as many expansion slots as possible such as PCI, and more expansion cards can be connected.

Optical drive: it is best to choose a DVD burner, which can read and write. At present, the 20-speed DVD burner is generally around 200, which is very valuable. Pioneer burner 1 16/2 16CH is recommended. The former is a parallel port and the latter is a serial port. Buy on demand.

Chassis: It is best to choose a wide chassis, because it can better dissipate heat, and stability is the guarantee of audio production.

Power supply: This is more important. Once the power supply is insufficient, it is likely to lead to many strange problems. It is recommended to choose a power supply with rated power above 300W, and 400W if possible. Remember to give others more power interfaces, or even other equipment will not be enough.

Graphics card: It doesn't matter if you don't care too much about the display performance. I bought a sapphire HD3650 graphics card, and the effect is good. ATI or Nvidia card is your choice.

Monitor: It's better to choose a large size. Now the 22-inch monitor is only about 1500, which is quite valuable. If there is no money, 19 inch is cheaper, as long as 1000 or so. Of course, 24 inches is better, and it can directly support 1080P HD. Cool!

The above is a general introduction to the recent computer configuration, and the following is about software installation and hard disk partition.

The division of audio is actually very simple, and the key lies in how to allocate space.

There is a concept that needs to be mentioned here, that is, the fewer areas the audio is divided into, the better. Some people like partitioning very much, and the small hard disk is divided into 5 or 6 areas. As everyone knows, more areas also lose some space invisibly and are consumed in the partition. So I suggest that for the main disk, the partition should not exceed three areas, namely C, D and E, and the size of each area should be according to my current method:

Area C is 50G, which is used to install system software and audio software. By default, all software is installed on drive C. If you have more software, you can divide the area bigger.

Area D, 150G, is used to store temporary documents.

Area E 100G is used to store private documents and materials.

The other hard disk is used to store main backup and audio files, materials, etc.

Software installation, in fact, is not a big problem, it is important not to install some system beautification software, because from the current experience, this beautification software and its easy to cause audio problems, in addition, the installation of the operating system should also be installed with the original system, genuine is not necessarily genuine, online can be downloaded, called MSDN version. Do not install the modified version. First, it can easily lead to system instability, but you don't know what it adds. It may be a Trojan horse or a back door at home.

Well, I have introduced some personal experiences above, some of which may not be completely accurate, but as far as my current use is concerned, there is no problem. I can't guarantee that there will be any problems after you do what I ask. This article is for your reference only.

If you have comments, you are welcome to communicate, but don't slander and abuse. A good online discussion environment needs everyone's participation!
