Avoid the AWE 64, as it's particular mix of
hardware & software synthesis causes many problems: just look at some of the messages on these pages regarding problems with the AWE, especially if you use Cubase.SCSI hard discs
are preferred for audio recording, but a (large)
UDMA hard disc will do the job. Also the new PCI
sound cards don't tax the processor resources, so they are worth looking at. One last thing- the quoted mimimum specs required in the software
details are misleading: you always need higher specs in order to get these programs running
adequately.
