Cubase ain't 64bit yet, but will be in a few months. I can see the =
writing on the wall and I want to be able to go there, soooo......

Here's what I'm looking at:

Intel BOXD975XBX2KR LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherbo-$249.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=3DN82E1681312 1059

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Kentsfield 2.66GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 =
Processor (yeah...that's 10.64 GHz )-$970.00

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E168191 15011

mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual =
Channel Kit Desktop Memory - $149.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E168201 46599

XFX PVT73GUGF3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video =
Card-$119.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E168141 50185

COOLMAX CP-500T EPS12V 500W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, CSA, -59.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E168171 59040

Seven Slot PCI Express to PCI-X Expansion System-$2050.00

http://www.globalspec.com/FeaturedProducts/Detail/GEFanucEmb eddedSystems/=
Seven_Slot_PCI_Express_to_PCIX_Expansion_System/17659/1

rough total: $3599.96

At this point I think I would have a workable 10+ GHZ system that =
*might* be able to run at 1.5ms without having to worry about ASIO =
direct monitoring while tracking projects that have FX on inserts/sends =
and still be able to utilize my existing PCI audio interfacing with PCIe =
hardware without having to replace it with a mishmash combination of =
PCIe/PCI stuff and I would be 64 bit capable when the time comes and I =
want to go to Vista and run 8G of RAM on the DAW.

I really like the RME HDSP configuration I've got now with the Multiface =
and the 2 x HDSP 9652's with 16 AD/DA's on the ADI8-DS units and I don't =
really want to spend the extra $$ on RME and UAD-1 PCIe hardware if I =
can just integrate my existing PCI hardware with the PCIe > PCi SBS =
chassis. There might be a small hit to performance with the PCi>PCIe =
conversion as compared to interfacing PCIe directly with the mobo, but =
the new mobos don't have enough PCIe slots to allow me to use the number =
of cards I want to use without a PCIe expansion chassis anyway....and =
this will need to be 64 bit eventually so there's a $2k expense, no =
matter how you cut it. So why upgrade PCI cards to PCIe if I can get a =
PCIe chassis that will hold all my PCI cards and allow them to interface =
PCIe anyway?

The reason I'm tempted to make the move now (besides wanting the =
horsepower) is that although the prices of the CPU's will be coming down =
over the next few months, so will the price I'll be able to get for my =
Magma's since they are 32 bit units (although 2 x of them are capable of =
integrating the PCIe host card so this gives them a little added value =
on EBay).

Any thoughts?
