ok, the term "hoodwinked" was kind of a joke.....
but i got screwed on my cpu. i settled on an athlon 1800 @ 1.8 ghz (figure i can upgrade later, since i got windows xp office, and a ton of other things that i couldnt get elsewhere, for the price, delivery, etc.....
but the chip turns out to be a 1.53 and the motherboard only holds 1 gig of ram (i wanted more) so.........
i was wondering, is this still solid for running, say 10 midi tracks and 5 audio tracks on cubase sx with effects? i plan on selling the motherboard and chip and getting an athlon 2400 with a good motherboard ($210 and dropping because of the new chip that came out...... ) or the usual pentium 4...... anyhow just wondering if i should be concerned with an immediate upgrade or if this will be solid for the time being.
*ithe midi will all be vst, everything will be vst instrument wise, so that is very taxing on cpu power....
