 Hmm... not to discourage you but that CPU is not going to be capable of
 running the first version of the mastering tool. Its designed to use
 linear filters, which are *very* expeensive in CPU time.

 Later it will probably be able to (optionally) use normal IIR filters
 which should run OK on slower machines. 
No, no - I can't get anything to run properly on that machine, and don't expect
to.  I'd master on my Marantz cassette recorder first!  I look forward to trying
out the system once I'm into 1+GHz proc. speeds.
