Hi Allan and everyone -
Thanks for the spec roundup re the AMD monster in a box; we've outgrown our present system and this looks like amazing performance for the money. So much so that we had a couple questions:

- Do you think it worthwhile to up the audio drive to 10,000/15,000 rpm?

and

- what do you think about adding a 1394 Firewire drive to store projects on, 120 GB. We seem to always have three or four different projects in varying stages of progress with significant gaps between sessions, like over a month. It would be nice to just dump the tracks into a third drive when they're not needed immediately.

Thanks again for all the research and advice.
Best,
