Hey guys, I am about to purchase a new pc rig and sx 3 with a RME 96/52... The pc has an AMD64/ Athlon 4000, Gigibyte kn8v m/b, 2 gigs of 3200 ram, 2 160gig drives that are raid 0, an MSI 64meg dual head graphics card, and XP pro. From ADK computers.

I also had a UAD-1 card put in(studio pak).

About how many channels can I expect to run with the stock EQ, Comp, Gate working hard?

And then if I start inserting VST or Waves plugins like C1, Magneto, RenEQ, how many til it gets dangerous?

I am asking now so if I need to move up to the new dual core chip for more power, than I will wait a few weeks to have it built.

Thanks.
