Hi gang,
My scenario is that I am a musician who is currently running WIN 2000 Pro, and I have a studio with several software programs (music creation and production - Cubase, Reason, FL Studio etc) running along with tons of VST instruments and plug-ins that work with the software. I have a decent system, not great.. not terrible.
It looks something like this.
P4 3.2GHz Processor
Intel 925 chipset
800MHz FSB
2GB Dual Channel DDR RAM
80GB System SATA
200GB Media SATA
I have just upgraded my main interface (the mother ship of my studio, if you will) and recently discovered that I need XP. I cannot run a dual boot because I need the programs and plug-ins to all access each other.
My question is, can I upgrade to XP without causing various other programs I have installed to stop working? How can I know without learning the hard way?
Any experience, advise or just general thought on any area of this quandary would be GREATLY appreciated!
