Will,
Just to expand on the performance I'm getting with this puppy. I can run the full 32 track Davec 1 test @ 256 buffer with CPU usage @ 85%. This is with 2 RTAS processors while opening and closing plug-in windows like a madman and changing back and forth from the mix to edit window for three plus minutes all without a hiccup. PT's CPU session meter is at half, and the disk meter is at a quarter. I can also playback Digi's "Filtered Dream", "Meant To Be", and "Be There" demos ("Be There" is an oldie ) all at a 64 buffer setting while opening and closing session windows and multiple plug-in windows (and of course my real world sessions with no problems). I am doing more recording with this very soon but so far playback and mixing has gone very well for me (considering I have an Accel system and I'm picky as hell).
Mileage will vary but I wanted to mention the kind of yardstick performance that I'm experiencing.
