And I was wondering if it would be worth it. Currently I am using a 3.4GHz P4 Northwood with a Asus P4P800 SE\865PE chipset and 1GB of PC3200 RAM. When I try to Mix and Master by adding Plug-ins, my PC is crashing on the bounce(CPU error). I can't use as many plug-ins as I want. This is a big problem, because I need to run alot of compression, Amplitube, Sans-amp, reverb and T-racks. And I haven't even added vocals or keyboards in yet. My PC just boggs out.

I'm looking at getting a DFI Lanparty mobo W\nForce4 chipset, an AMD Athlon X2 4400 and OC it to a 5400, 2GB of OCZ Performance series PC3200 RAM.

I'm just wondering how much of a performance boost I can expect before I buy. I need to run a lot of plug-ins. Will I be able to run more plug-ins compared to my current setup? Thanx all!
