just a core card

Depends on which plug-ins you want to use as some will only run on the accel dsp cards in which case you would need both and to be honest you wouldn't get a huge amount of dsp power just running a core card. My advice would be to stay away from TDM plug-ins unless you need them for tracking purposes or are going to move over to pro-tools and spend the money instead on well coded plug-ins like the native Waves stuff and the most powerful G5 you can lay your hands on.

Hope this helps a bit..
