As you may or may not know, we are finishing up our 16 bit stereo audio 
sampler. I am truly amazed at what we can do with our Amys. Last night I
watched while Greg, our engineer, was sampling some Joe Satriani from a CD
into his old Seagate 65ms drive, while perfmon was watching CPU usage. Mind
you, we were using Greg's 2091 (DMA), but during sampling and playback I
never saw the CPU time run over about 70-75% ON AN UNACCELERATED 2000. 
Playback ran more like 60-65%. Fast memory is required, but only 2 64k
buffers. The Eagles' "Seven Bridges Road" takes up about 29meg (2 min. 50
sec. sampling time...).
