MUSICXPC-PRO-S3 Intel Core Duo Desktop Computer
This dream machine fulfills the promise of taming the most CPU hungry virtual instrument, of delivering so many audio tracks that your ears would scream for you to stop, of storing so much data that you can go away on a 3 week vacation and find it still recording 24192 audio upon your return. A machine designed to occupy the most demanding spot in your music production work space. We would be lying if we didnt admit that we engineered this computer to blow the doors off every other music computer on the planet. That was our goal and as you will see, we clearly succeeded. Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: The Professional S3 is an Intel Core 2 Duo workhorse built on the 1066 MHz front-side-bus Intel P965 chipset. It runs Windows XP music applications at the rate of a scream. The dual-core engine is the latest wave of performance power coming to a desktop near you. We are blown away at the performance increase compared to the previous generations of processors - and you will too. For years we have preached the virtues of the Intel architecture and its outstanding performance attributes. Now, finally, everyones is on the bandwagon. At MusicXPC, they are focused on a single mission - to build the finest music production computers on the planet, thats the S3. Mother of all Motherboards: The Professional S3 is equipped with a versatile motherboard packed with features and new innovations that reduce noise and temperature. This super-quiet fanless motherboard supports 1066 MHz FSB, Intel Pentium dual core and Core 2 processors, DDR2 RAM (Dual Channel) and PCI Express x16. The motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the SATA 3 GB/s storage specification, which provides enhanced scalability and a doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port on the rear allow hot-plug connect/disconnect of very high performance hard drives. The motherboard provides all the normal ports that you would expect to find in a high performance computer and then some. 2GB DDR2 RAM: The Professional S3 is loaded with 2GB of top-tier dual channel DDR2 800 MHz RAM upgradeable to 4GB. All RAM chips are not created equal. RAM chips are graded for quality by the handful of top-tier manufacturers that actually make the chips. RAM chips that pass are sold under top-tier brands. The ones that marginally fail are sold off to second tier manufacturers and then sold at discounts under a multitude of brand names. For CPU, RAM and HD intensive work like professional digital audio production, it can be a fatal mistake to allow anything less than top-tier RAM into your workspace. At MusicXPC, you will find only tested, top-tier, first-rate RAM in our machines. 1.1 Terabyte of HD Storage: The Professional S3 is meant for professional music production. This means that its storage capacity can no longer be measures in Gigabytes - say hello to 1.1 TeraBytes of storage. Music XPC knows that it is not uncommon to use 25GB for a piano or st
