Dual-PIII seems to work out quite a bit more expensive than dual- Athlon. I have a dual Athlon on an MSI motherboard and it works very well -- I previously had a dual-Celeron Abit motherboard which was nothing like as reliable (tolerable, but not faultless). The MSI board seems better put together, too. But it may be excessively hard to cool two Athlons quietly enough for a recording environment. My machine is pretty noisy and I don't know whether there'd be enough headroom to install a much quieter cooling system. Chris
