I just recently added a Satellite Octo USB to my rig. UA does however recommend for best performance and stability a Win 圆4 OS and an i7 CPU.
I did test it out on an older Lenovo T430 (Win 7 x86/i5/4GB) and it installed and worked okay without issues using it's onboard USB 3.0 ports. It has become my primary audio device with my desktop DAW (Win 10 Pro 圆4/i7 4770k/16GB and two UAD-2 PCIe cards). I've been successfully using an Apollo Twin USB with REAPER 5 圆4 since last March. Am looking to downsize anyway, so the laptop would be the preference. I'll buy a laptop, or put together a box with known compatible hardware to get it to work if I have to. going for the Apollo twin duo usb for windows. In other words, If I DID decide to go with the usb / windows version of the Apollo, would my computer be good enough to run it ? I've tried to find that spec on newer computers (the pci bus speed)(to note whether or not it's faster than my five year old pc) I've gone to bios on a couple, and don't see it listed anywhere. Is 133 Mhz fast enough ? or is that something that I shouldn't concern myself with. What is the speed of the pci bus on newer computers ? The pci bus in this computer runs at 133 Mhz
#APOLLO TWIN DUO USB FOR MAC 64 BIT#
I have Intel based pc (Intel Desktop Board DQ57TM) with an I-7 processor, it's roughly 2010 vintage, win 7 professional - 64 bit with 16 gig of memory running reaper now with a delta card. I'm also thinking of going to mac mini - but was hoping to be able too use the thunderbolt version on windows as Billy did, Prior to getting the mini - if this is the case, then I'll go with the Mac version for sure. (just released - shipping end of November is what I was told by Sweetwater) so. the windows version has no track record yet. I recently searched and saw a post by Billy Buck with regard to his using the thunderbolt version on a pc, using a fire wire (800 ?) card. I'm thinking of going with the Apollo twin duo - either for windows or mac.
