Vogone 2 will NOT work on AMD K6 or K62 processors

[admin]

The AMD K6 CPU processor is not powerful enough to run Vogone 2 in real-time. This, while processing, the sound will "sputter and studder" in segments of sound followed by silence, then sound then silence, etc. There are several reasons we have come to this conclusion about the K6.

1. The K6/K62 only has a 1-pipeline floating point processor. All other CPU processors (Intel Celeron and Pentium (2, 3 or 4), and AMD Duron and Athelon) have 4-pipeline parallel-procssing floating point processors within the chip, giving four times the processing power for floating-point computations.

2. Vogone heavily uses floating point computations which places a much larger floating-point computation load ot the processor than other audio programs will. We pulled out all the stops to get the maximum vocal-reduction and audio quality we could achieve.

3. The K6/K62 processor has 32KBytes of CACHE memory, which is double what the Pentium 2 processor has. We developed Vogone 2 on a Pentium 2 initially, so we know it runs in 16KBytes of Cache.

Please Note: We recommend you have at least 128MB of system RAM in your computer, regardless of the processor. Less than this might cause a problem. If you have any other processor (than the K6) and you are hearing sputtering audio, check your computer RAM and increase it if it is less then 128MB.
