Default Using Separate Computers for Soft Instruments/Synths

Since the company I work for got acquired by another company, they recently sold off most of their computer equipment.

I ended up with 10 Desktops of varying speed. Most of them are PIII 450-500Mhz Machines. (Gateway and Dell)

I believe I've seen posts discussing using separate machines for Soft Synths/Instruments, so I have two questions on that.

1) Do you think a 450-500Mhz PIII machine is fast enough for this type of application. (My guess is yes)

2) Do you think the stock built-in sound cards are capable of running these type of apps. (My guess is probably not)

I figured these systems might let me run some stuff like Hammond B3 Simulators and other things that can be controlled by MIDI.

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ostrich99
