Don't forget, asides the computer spec itself, you'll need a decent enough soundcard for the work you want to do, and this will need to be a seperate csoundcard to that which you use for JAWS etc. In terms of PC spec my core ii duo handles everytrhing I've thrown at it without a single glitch, and its not like a top of the range one but at 3 GHZ seems fine for projects with twenty or thirty tracks of audio, plus a dozen or more VST effects runnign on them. I do have two harddrives, but noticed no differnce on this machine between having the projects on either, so I tend to use it more as a back up; On my previous computer I found the second harddrive did drastically improve Sonar's performance and responsiveness though. I have 4 GB RAM (with a little over 3 GB of this being visible under Windows XP Pro to the software for use), I think the RAM upgrade on this machine from the 2 GB I had on the previous incarnation of this machine made quite a differnce.
I've not looked at New PC spec for a while as I'm not in the market myself, but the last time I looked the I7 (think that is what they are called), were looking very tasty, but a little on the pricey side back, then as they'd not been about long, maybe they've gotten cheaper now? In terms of RAM, as well, going for the faster speed RAM (and making sure I had a motherboard capible of utalising that higher clock speed), was a good move as that seems to stop things getting overly slowed down. As far as I can make out on my system now, its my old cheap soundcard which is somewhat letting the side down...
