Yup, looks interesting. Still find 4GB ram a limitation, though.
Per, I wonder if Samsung's dirt cheap iPhone/Pod killer (a friends

FW800..  for desktop music editing actually pretty useful:
. connect a FW800 switch to which 3x 2½" drives are conected:
   . one for audio apps
   . one for soundfonts
   . one for the projects
  . use an RME fireface800 interface
