Thanks All! This thread has just the kind of info I need and will help me make a short list.I plan to use Pure Data to do effects on my guitar (in particular a kind of live granulation patch I'm quite pleased with) which is why low latency would be good.

My Dell Dimension 9150 has APIC, but only 23 interrupts.. I suppose with the 750i there will be more since it is quality hardware, but someone I talked to was unsure whether it would have good linux support. Anyhow.. It seems to be that the best choice is not to get the Core 2 Duo's but the i7, as

Look.. I was just pointing out an option, I only paid 219 dollars for this, and sound doesn't really require a whole lot of CPU time anyhow. MIDI was developed in 1983..
