Ok,
Right now our DAW is running as followed:

Processor
*P4 2.4GHZ Processor
*FSB 557mhz
Motherboard
*Socket 478 Intel ASUS Board
*Upgradable to 3.6GHZ Processor
*1.5GB DDR Ram installed
*2 GB Ram upgradable
*3 PCI Slots
*1 AGP Slot
Extras
*Exaust
*Firewire Card
Outgear
*Onyx 1220 w/ Firewire Card
*Compression Mic
*MBOX 2
*Triton LE, Yamaha SO8, and DGX8 Key.

Thinking of upgrading to:
Processor
*Pentium D 3.0GHZ Processor
*FSB 800mhz to 1066mhz
Motherboard
*Socket 775 Intel ASUS Board
*1 GB DDR2 Ram or keeping old Ram
*Upgradable to 4GHZ Processor
*3 PCI Slots
*1 AGP Slot
Extras
*Exaust
*Firewire Card
*Double Screen Video Card (GeForce 6200
Outgear
*Onyx 1220 w/ Firewire Card
*Compression Mic
*MBOX 2
*Triton LE, Yamaha SO8, and DGX8 Key.

Is this a good choice if I want to do a lot of Audio Processing and use a hell of a lot of plugins and do MIDI sequencing at the same time? I use a combination of ALL the Spectrasonics plugins, Guitar Rig, and sometimes I include both the Bosendorfer 290 and East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Gold samples. As of now, the Onyx is taking a great deal of CPU power and I like the idea of recording in 88khz. Anyone think that this upgrade solution will be good?
