Hi Roly,
I'm running Samplitude on an ANUS machine and it's working great.

P4 2.4G
ASUS P4PE
WD drives 40/120gb

I can't remember the rest of the specs at the moment, but you can do a search on "ANUS" and find'em.

Anyway, it has plenty of power and it's solid, so I'm happy.

Thanks for your help Mitchell.
I have an A7V266E AMD 1900 and am thinking about an A7N8X and an AMD Barton 2500. Anyone have any opinions about that mobo and cpu?
cheers Roly
