1800 should be fast enough, but 1300 was a bit low when doing 8 channel audio convolution with the new 64bit convolution engine in MC. Without that audio processing, I would be surprised if your computer isn't up to it.
Asus P8Z68 motherboard,
16GB DDR3 RAM 1600,
Intel Core i7 2600 3.4GHz optmized by asus to some 4200GHz,

Hi Trumpetguy,
I will use JRiver in a similar situation with 8 channel audio convolution (new 64bit convolution engine in MC) and A/V sync. How much RAM will be required for optimal results? You have installed quite a high amount of 16GB DDR3 RAM 1600. How high is the load of CPU and RAM? Would you please post a screen shot of Windows task manager to show the load of CPU and RAM?
My actual new PC setup is possibly to low for the demand of 8 channel audio convolution and A/V sync.
topically on the the way to me:
MSI P67A-G55 board
MSI N450GTS Cyclone
topically not yet bought:
Intel Core i5-2500K
exceleram Black Sark DIMM Kit
4GB PC3-10667U CL9-9-9-24 (DDR3-1333)
topically in use:
Win XP 32Bit
AMD Athlon X2 4800+
probably recommendable as upgrade:
Win 7 64Bit PRO
8GB DDR3 RAM 1333
Intel Core i7-2600K
IMO DDR3 RAM 1600 does not benefit of sandy bridge CPUs. Not until Ivy Bridge CPUs will prefer DDR3 RAM 1600.
I am not a gamer, only interested in optimal audio and video. What´s your comment to my setup and upgrade options?
