Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure that I will be able to play back plenty of tracks from the raid 0 array with an AMD 4000. What I am looking for is some info about how many stock eqs and comps I will be able to use at once. I anticipate recording about 40 audio tracks and 8-12 midi tracks playing vsti's. I'd like to use 6-8 1176's or LA2A's from the UA card and use the stock eq's and comp's on the rest, with some tape saturation plugins on drum tracks, guitars , and bass also. Or maybe use some better eq's here and there instead of the stock sx 3 stuff. Add to that a few quality reverbs and delays on the aux's and of course some insert effects on a few tracks.

Is my new system going to be powerful enough? Do I just need another UA card?
The ADk guy says I should be O.K., but I want some other opinions.
