What hardware would run Ubuntu Studio fast? I don't wan't to buy an i7 or Phenom II if a dual core or Athlon with 8gigs ram would run within 10% the speed at half the price for parts! I want to be able to run 2 or 3 apps simultaneously without slowing the PC down. I've built a PC before using a good 650 watt power supply, multiple cooling fans, and a generic 512mb video card.
I am looking for a seasoned user to recommend what: CPU, motherboard/ram bus speeds, amount of ram, which video card(s), and anything else to build a PC from parts at Newegg or similar.
I've run Ubuntu Studio on a Dell GX280 with P4, 2.8 ghz CPU, with 1.5 gigs of memory, on-board audio, and whatever video card came with it for recording audio. I was achieving less than 10msecs of latency while running JACK, Ardour, Hydrogen, and Rakarrack while doing multi-track recording.
This setup probably wouldn't be very responsive for tons of digital processing via plugins, but it does show some of the bottom end.
