Since you have a PC and not a Mac, maybe you should check out Kyma/Capybara
by Symbolic Sound.  The beauty of Kyma/Capybara is that it runs on a 
separate box loaded with DSPs instead of directly on your computer so it
doesn't rob processing time from your computer.   The computer mainly 
serves
as a controller for the box.   Symbolic Sound just started offering a 
PCMIA card so that you can run Kyma on a laptop.   I don't know if it has 
looping/overdubbing functions like the Echoplex but maybe it's worth a 
look.

The URL is http://www.symbolicsound.com/ 
 
BTW, Kyma runs on both Macs and PCs.  Capybara is the DSP box.

Cheers,
