hello,

the chipset is intel D845HV. it seems to run at 1,7 GHz and has quite
enough RAM in this computers to allocate heaps and buffers...
operating system is windows2000
the card I was speaking about this mornig is an ethernet AngelCustodios card...
any idea, for now, about the in-built sound chip.

indeed we must! :))) we have better computer and audio devices at
home. i agree with you : i'd never try to produce or give a concert
with this. anyway, i believe that to introduce students to PD and
computer music, in general, is better this than nothing. if we do not
make compromises, people will remain forever on the "trivialities" of
manual sound editing and processing. and the worst thing is that they
could feel themselves as knowing all that a computer can do in the
sound domain! it's a pity that people could thing on computers only
as a way to do faster the same things we did before without them.
if you knew about the difficulties i have to be understood by the
direction staff when i speak on the necessity of using good sound
material !! to have a minimal pro tools system has been a battle, but
well, there is a while i'm falling in the off-topic! excuse me,
please.
whishes and many thanks
jose manuel
