I have to build an audio computer running PD for an

I am not too familiar with actual hardware issues, I would like to ask,
if there are any restrictions or aspects to kepp in mind concerning
certain processor types, motherboards, graphic cards, HDs (SATA) ...
I will use a Hammerfall HDSP 9652 and the JAD-Distribution on a
32bit-architecture
I built two machines last year with these hardware specs:
For the JAD box:
Gigabyte mobo w. AMD64 3800+
nVidia GeForce 7300GS w. 256 MB VRAM
Antec case
Zalman CPU fan
200 GB SATA HD
For the 64 Studio box:
Gigabyte mobo w. AMD64 3200+
nVidia GeForce 7600GS w. 512 MB VRAM (fanless)
Antec case
Zalman CPU fan
320 GB SATA HD
If quiet isn't a concern you can skip the Zalman fans and the Antec cases.
HTH,
