hi,

i run an pc with - piv 2.4ghz
- asus mobo p4b533
- 512 ddr ram
- 2x 20gb hdd seagate
- 1x 80 gb hdd maxtor
- rme multiface soundcard

and it can cope easily with playing back 64 24bit/44.1khz tracks while recording 16 tracks. if i do this the cpu meter hardly registers(3-4%) and the disk activity meter is then at about 15%. I run nuendo 2.1 btw. but i have to say that i tweaked this pc a bit and i chose parts on the basis that they were reliable. i only install stuff i need and i turned all the stuff i dont need off (like graphics and some background services) This baby has been very reliable the only times it becomes unreliable is when the load from plugins becomes too much but it never crashes just becomes very slow. there is a lot of info on the web on how to tweak your pc for audio. do a search at google.
