Ok then I take it back. You can achieve multi track recording for a few 
tracks (< 10) with a single IDE. Go for more RAM.

But if you want to take advantage of Jack then you will be doing more 
than 10 tracks pretty quickly.

Although I'm not suggesting we all start taking advantage of Jack.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
