martin....
re....your comment....."I'm inherently distrustful of Sempron and Celeron processors for ANY audio work".....
celerons i would agree with ....although that might change .....but i STRONGLY disagree about the sempron.
the sempron imho is most underestimated.
you were talking earlier about a dual processor....a sempron system i recently tested blew away a dual core processor in some detailed dsp testing i did ....
maybe if you tried a sempron already it was in a pc incorrectly configured.

a sempron with good fast hard drives with large 8mb caches in a properly configured pc is a force to be reckoned with....and will put many more expensive systems to shame imho.
peace.
