I have two quotes for a new Windows 10 system. Im currently running a ten year old W7/64bit machine with a Xeon 3.2GHZ/24GB RAM Nuendo 10.xxxx Which has been dead rock solid. But as you know Nuendo 11 wont run in Windows 7. So time to upgrade.
Below is what I have to choose from.
Here is my question folks: I’m thinking that double the Cache from 8.25 to 19.25 is going to be more beneficial than being concerned about ECC vs NOB ECC RAM? In other words I’m leaning towards the i9 RIG.
Let’s us this as my average work load: 14 tracks of VSTi and 40 audio tracks. With various plugins of course.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated Ladies and Gentlemen
