Sounds good.
Non ECC is fine.
You'll want at least two 7200 RPM HDD's, IDE ATA 100/133 will do fine. Or, if you really wanted you could use SATA drives via the South Bridge controller.
I would imagine that DVD writer will also burn CD's?

OK, thanks, yes I was thinking about SATA drives, I have read that 3 is even better (one system + programs, one samples, one for audio files) ?

Indeed I intended DVD/CD Re-Writer.

I have one UAD card, probably two in the future.

Cheers,

Warda
