I'm not set on duals, just interested if they were considerable more stable / faster / whatever for the associated price increase of a dual motherboard/chipset (and the 2 processors)

Fair point, although as horribly unprofessional as this sounds (forgive me) - small scale panto is not "mission critical" and mentioned in my post above (sent as you were posting :-) ) you could theoretically get by with piano/strings. Let's face it, this isn't Les Mis or Phantom of the Opera (although tunes from them feature quite heavily ;-) )
I will also have a MiniDisc backup of EVERYTHING (including stings and entrance/exit music etc) in the orchestra pit and the sound guy will have the same so the numbers could be played from one of those in worst case...

I'm inherently distrustful of Sempron and Celeron processors for ANY audio work.
The ideal solution for me would be a Kurzweil K2600 on the bottom, a 2661 on top, each connected to a K2600 rack. All maxed out :-D Money forbids though...
