Hi, I wondered if Logic Platinum on PC is already taking advantage of Pentium III processors ??? Samplitude does, Cubase does, .... Under my Samplitude Studio 5.3, this doubles the number of effects we can use with Pentium III. How does this works with Logic's Platinum ??????? Regards, hans

This sounds a bit suspicious; I wouldn't be surprised if this is just old performance improvements that hadn't been folded in yet. ;-) The P3 really isn't that much cooler than the P2. The main advantages of the "faster" processors, you should be getting anyway without any real effort. -s

Under my Samplitude Studio 5.3, this doubles the number of effects we can use with Pentium III. What are you comparing the doubling with? The same processor without PIII optimization enabled? -- Thanks, -Randy Hammon Savage Resurrection TranceKat Music "Trance Polka for the Next Millennium"

actually there's a set of instruction in the P3 if i rememeber correctly (called SSE)... but if i remember the pointless MMX (you can't use it at the same time as floating point, so better use the floating point for logic! ;) it might well serve nothing to implement in a DAW. althought software desgned for pentium3 (windows itself?) might run faster, so apart from logic <G>, it should run faster :) so samplitude & cubase have SSE code? i thought they had only MMX, which is pointless for FX calculations unless you use integers (which are obviously less precise) > -----Original Message----- > From: seebs@g...

This only works for the effect on the mixing console of Samplitude (not on direct X!!!) regards, Hans

It was one of the examples Intel gave on the launch of the PIII. I think if the situation is perfect then it will run code at 3 or 4 times the speed of the PII. But of course this is not a real world enhancement and will end up between a 0% and 80% improvement (Take note everyone believing Apples' hype with the G4) Mat
