Woo Hoo!! These things rock!! A Quad Core system with Intel's new and improved Hyperthreading (yes, it works great now for audio) in their new i7 processor! Intel's clock speed with a very "AMD-like" Hyper Transport give you really stunning performance at any latency setting. You can expect even with the base speed processor (2.66ghz) in Cubase 5 for example, with RME or Lynx hardware to run a 40 channel tracking project at 48K, and a 64 buffer setting with 4 stereo headphone mixes, and a reverbs with less than a 15% CPU load! Add some VST-I's and track midi at the same time! Mixing? Easily 200 waves SSL channel strips at 1024 buffer. These system will give you 40% or MORE power than Quad Core systems available a year ago!
