"Avoid unsuitable motherboard chip sets: The most unfortunate of all purchases is a PC whose motherboard simply refuses to run audio hardware with low latency. It really does pay to do some research before buying a PC, to avoid such issues, and I do my best to keep SOS readers informed of them. The biggest such problem to face musicians recently has been the performance of legacy PCI slots in the new PCI Express-equipped motherboards, as I discussed in SOS March 2006. Intel's 915, 925X and 925XE chip sets should be avoided for this reason. The problems that initially beset the Nforce 4 chip set are greatly reduced when it is used with the dual-core Athlon X2 processors rather than the previous single-core versions. The best advice I can offer here is not to assume that the latest motherboard chip set from any manufacturer will automatically be the greatest for the musician. To avoid expensive mistakes, never buy newly released components until at least a few people have had time to run audio tests on them!" *
