Any of the current processors will do fine. I assume when you say one channel that you mean a stereo channel. Since most MB have onboard sound you could use that. You can only use one sound card unless you get a pro type card like the M-Audio Delta 44 ( $199. retail) which has 4 input & 4 output channels. Since you didn't give a price range it's hard to help otherwise. John
I was tasked to build a PC for a club DJ. Typically I have used AMD processors, but I remember reading a couple years ago that Pentiums were preferred for multi-media applications. Is this still true? This PC will be dedicated just to this function and will not be on the net. My plans were to use 512Mb RAM. It runs directly into one channel of a mixing board. Should I use dual sound cards to run into two channels for mixing, or have him do that through his DJ application.
I guess I'm asking a configuration you would use if building something like this without going overboard.
Thanks!!!
