Will this PC-Setup work with UAD?

[nico]

HI there,

I am planing to buy a new PC system with the following components and I am wondering if there might be any problems with any of these components to work with my UAD:

+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (Boxed, OPGA, \"Toledo\")
+ Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (Sound, 2x G-LAN, FW, 2x SATA RAID)
+ ASUS Extreme N7800 GTX - GeForce 7800, 256 MB
+ 2 x Samsung SP2504C 250 GB (SpinPoint P120, SATA-II) no RAID
+ NEC ND-4551A Bulk, Labelflash, silber
+ Audiophile 2496
+ Thermaltake Purepower PST 520 W
+ Chieftec Mesh Series Big Tower


Many thanks,
Nico

For the time being, the only motherboard with which you can be sure it'll work with an X2 and UAD-1 is the ASUS A8V Deluxe. There has also been a positive report on the Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 and no negative ones. There's also a positive report on an nForce3 board (MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum), but a LOT of negative ones at the same time (including mine).

Hm, what's the problem with the Athlon 64 X2 + Asus A8N-SLI + UAD combination?

I give the ASUS A8V-E SE a try since AMD X2 CPU with NForce 4 based chipset mainboards cause choppy Audio and CPU spiking as you can read here:

Abit AV8 is also compatible isn't it? As it shares the same chipset as the Asus A8V.

Should be.
