Hey guys, essentially I'll be starting a Music Production BA (Hons) course next week, and I'll be needing to run Pro Tools, which I imagine to be extremely reliant on much more powerful hardware. Anyway, my PC has been due an update for a while, but the current case I have is really small and I could do with a larger one if I'm swapping out hardware.
Essentially, my current specs are:
Windows 7 64-Bit
TripleCore AMD Athlon II X3 425, 2700 MHz (13.5 x 200)
Acer WMCP78M Motherboard (according to AIDA64) - Apparently DTX/Micro ATX size
nVIDIA GeForce 9200, AMD K10 (Not too bothered about graphics)
240V PSU (Oh dear)
3GB RAM
Also, how would I go about getting a Firewire port?
I'm on a budget due to being a student and ting, so I'd like to keep my motherboard. Edit: Nevermind, can't find any info on this motherboard other that it's form factor.
Really have no idea where to start, would it be easier just building a new PC, but keeping my hard drives and graphics card? I'll be using an external interface/sound card, so that won't be a problem either.
