System 1:

Processor: Intel I3 540
Motherboard: Asus P7H55-M LE
Videocard: GeForce 8200 512Mb fanless
Memory: 8 Gb (2 banks 4Gb)
Sound Card: ESI Juli@ (for audio and MIDI)
HD: 500Gb SATA harddisk
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

System 2:

Processor: Intel I3-2100
Motherboard: Asus P8H67-M
Videocard: GeForce GTX 275 896Mb
Memory: 4 Gb (2 banks 2Gb)
Sound Card: M-Audio MobilePre USB
HD1: 750Gb SATA harddisk (high-speed)
HD2: 500Gb SATA harddisk
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Both Videocard and processor have big low level noise fans. Both systems are self-build.

X1 (32 bit) is running smooth on both systems.

As a detail I can add on both computers there is a dedicated partition solely for music production. Those are not used for anything else! There is also a "game" partition and a Linux "daily work" partition on system 2. A few "software-test" partitions are made on both computers. Those are used for testing new software. On system 2 there is a "backup" partition, that can be used for permanent and temporary backup (using a high speed network for the second computer).

If you want more information, please ask...

Can run as many instances of GR4 as I want .

Specs below.

that;s in SONAR 8.5.3. Haven't tried in X1C yet. With my work schedule it will probably be a month or so before I get to do any serious work using X1C - Even soi I can load and run GR4 without any seeming problems; just haven't dug deep into X1 C yet

Up until a couple of months ago (and I still have this machine.)

SPECIFICATIONS:
· Athlon 64 X2 4000
· nVidia nForce 430 motherboard
· USB-2
· 2.5 GB DDR2
· 2 X 1Tb HDs
· nVidia 6150SE onboard video
· 22x DVD/RW
· Windows XP Pro x86

This machine was able to cope (albeit barely on occassion) with a full mix of any CHB project to date and some of those have gotten pretty big!


Currently

SPECIFICATIONS:
· Intel i7 2600K @ 3.9GHz
· H67 motherboard
· SATA-III, USB-3
· 4GB DDR3
· 2 X 1Tb & 1 X 500 GB HDs
· Intel HD 3000 on-chip video
· 22x DVD/RW
· Windows 7 x64 Pro

This cost me £620 ($1025) inc. OS and UK VAT, pre-built with a years RTB. (which was pretty cheap for this side of the pond, at the time of purchase)

It runs like a charm I don't think I've seen the CPU meters go much past 10% at all yet.

FWIW I reckon it is bad form to diss any manufacturer for price on an open forum (Mystic38).  If you are happy with what you got for what you paid then just rejoice. 

I know Studiocat and ADK are very well respected DAW manufacturers and what they provide is good value for money and more importantly to many, complete satisfaction and after sales support.  I know they work tirelessly, often beyond any call of duty to ensure it have no doubt.  I've yet to hear a valid bad word said about them and I know many that use their products who are delighted with them.

We could all source our parts and bolt the bits together if we wanted to and come in around the same amount of $, big manufacturers often drive down prices further by scrubbing features out of motherboards and other components also by buying out over-produced stock from suppliers at knock off rates, the only real value differential you can apply is service and for many that is well worth the $ difference.

I am running a PC Audio Labs Mobile i7 MC mobile workstation with Sonar X1c and
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Intel 990X i7 processor at 3.46 Ghz (6 cores, 12 threads)
12 Gb  DDR3-1333 memory
750 Gbyte primary drive SATA 2 at 7200 RPM
750 Gbyte audio drive SATA 2 at 7200 RPM
750 Gbyte sample drive SATA 2 at 7200 RPM
6x BluRay and 8x DVD multidrive optical drive combo

I do not have any software on this computer not directly related to music. No MS Office or any crapware.

Yes it can easily run GR4.
