REGULARS: PC AUDIO

摘要

Audio PC connected to the Internet, but worried about its audio performance being degraded? Read On! For many years I kept my audio PC away from the Internet and all its dangers. Indeed, my previous computer ended up with a triple-booting Windows XP setup, so each time I switched it on I could choose from its General Purpose Internet-enabled partition running a virus checker, firewall and the rest, an entirely separate and very stripped-down Music partition, or a Review partition on which I installed software that might only be in place for a matter of days before being deleted. This arrangement worked well, since if I ever caught anything nasty via the Internet it never affected my audio software on its hidden Music partition, and the review install was a wonderful test bench for trying out loads of new software without any long-term worries.
