[CM] Machine specs

[James Ravan]

Bill,

quad-core 3.0 Ghz 86-64 processors (8 "cores")..."

Can you save a little about the machine? I'm thinking about building 
something like this for a DSP workhorse, but I don't know what 
motherboard/CPU combination to start with. Also how much memory, what 
about audio card(s), and which Linux distribution? And anything else you 
might think important.

thanks,
