I was using a Athalon 1GHz processor with 512 MBytes of RAM and windows 98. I took all my drives, video card, sound cards, fans, and box and bought a Athalon 2.4 GHz processor, motherboard, Windows XP, and 3 GBytes of RAM and put it together. It set my back a little under a grand. It was well worth it. Im happy as hell with it. Now I can actually use half of the tracks that CEP 2.1 will allow. I looked at the pentium 3 GHz chip but according to documentation the alhalon 2.4 actually runs faster. That pentium 3 GHz chip costs over 800 bucks just for the chip too.

Have a look at the informal 'benchmark' discussed in this link - you might care to try it (though it's essential to use exactly the parameters specified) and let us know how your new machine compares?

Ok I will do it tomorow. I never use the reverb but I know that without it I havent reached the limit yet but with my old system it was about 12 tracks.

To make it fair shouldnt everybody be at the same bit depth and sample rate?

Yes -- the test Oz referred to involves 16/44.1 material pulled from a CD.
