ryant , re: chipsets. if were me i would look at an nvidea based amd system.
there have been issues in the past with certain via chipsets if you read around the net, but others say this has now been solved. whatever i or anyone tells you this week could change in a few weeks by the time you make a purchase as the computer industry is ever changeing - so the key -
and this is what i do - i take my multitrack software plus sound card and run a trial on the system before i purchase it. some people say stay away from the cheaper amd motherboards - yet ive had friends systems run multitrack better better on the cheaper mbds than the expensive ones (and also vice versa). so the real key to running a successfull DAW (this goes for intel as well imho) is to run a test or even rent a system for a few weeks.
some vendors will let you do this. i could tell you a motherboard and chipset like say a biostar with nvidia that works but it might not for you.
one thing i DO KNOW , i dont run on my amd systems on the pci bus anything other than the sound card.
also note with these new processors like the AMD64 the whole architecture will change of the PC. this is on going and will never end.
if were me i would look at a barebones solution/build yourself etc.
OR you can get here where i live mbds plus cheaper (than 64) amd processors that will do 80 tracks for 120 bucks. just an idea.
