Is there a hardware bottleneck that prevents digitized audio to
be recorded concurrently to disk, or played back similarly,
without interruption of the audio?

What models of the Mac have this bottleneck?

If there is no such (or on models that have no such)
bottleneck does software that provides "virtual memory"
(don't remember any names now) work to get around
the limitations of audio-digitizing software that limits
itself to available memory?  Any experiences with this?

Also, in case there is no bottleneck, are there any software
packages that work with a MacRecorder that dont limit you
to available memory?
