Hello
I want to make my first project for audio.
I know that most of the users suggest to go with ivy bridge, but as i think thit will strip down the OS only to go with Mountain Lion.
And this is my real problem - i got EMU 0202 USB audio interface - i found on the net that there are problems with this interface in ML (due to lack of the new drivers). On other boards i have also found news that Logic got GUI problems in Mountain Lion, and Ableton (that i want to use on this build) got also some problems in ML (glitches, GUI lag etc).
I know that there will be no new driver for EMU 0202 USB (and this is why i will never choose emu products any more - i was waiting over year for a drivers for win 7, that are now only betas).
So think i got two ways to go:
1) stay with Snow Leopard (that is still avaible in amazon? i heard that it is not avaible any more in mac store - can any one confirm it? where i can get one copy?) then i can update SL to Lion.
With the build : sandy bridge -
GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (or GA-Z68X-UD3, GA-Z68XP-UD4, GA-z68XP-UD3 - wich will be the best in your opinion? want to got sleep etc);
2700K (i want to got option to overclock it, so need to have motherboard that will allow it);
HD6850 (or HD6870);
Corsair 16GB 1600 mhz;
Bluetooth Adapter (dont know which to choose);
Wificard TP-Link (TL-WDN4800);
a pci firewire card (for the future if will want to change audio interface from usb to firewire - dont know which will work, but ive heard that there is a problem with firewire in mobo)
2) risk and go with make ivy bridge-Mountain Lion
The build:
GA-Z77X-UD5H or GA-Z77-DS3H (preferred UD5H - for the future oc of the cpu - on ds3h as ive read there is a lack of the vcore change)
3770k (or 3570k) - want to overclock;
no graphic card (i will stay with HD4000);
Corsair 16GB 1600 mhz;
Bluetooth adapter, wificard, firewire like on 1) build
Something inside tell me to go with the Sandy Bridge build (and Snow leopard) - the "power" of that machine will be sufficient for my needs, and could be less problematic to use with DAW programs.
PS. There will be no problems with icloud account etc with hackintosh?
