Thank you for your detailed thoughts, Shadowex3.
I am only doing the audio processing for myself - not business. My present hardware does what I need although I may have to wait 5-25 minutes for it to work on a 75 minute audio file :-)
The programs I'm using are CoolEdit v1.2 (1999 prog) and ClickRepair. Also some audio converters. Old stuff.

So I expect the above system in post one will just work faster than what I'm using presently.
I'm have trouble designing a better option but am learning about what is out there now - but could use help :-)

Actually I'm not that happy with the MyCom system because of missing features on the motherboard.
I would like a parallel port and ata port.
I need to know how much faster DDR3 is compared to DDR2 for what I plan to do.
Is there a good thread here discussing these issues?
