Hy Ralf,

No problem, excuse me, I've lost control, it takes me a lot of time to 
read your mails, even if I don't give you many help.

In fact, the only thing I can say to really help is:

I'm working on music with linux since 6 years now. I've even recorded a 
CD entierely with linux tools.
If you want to get ride of hardware stuff, and be more on artistic or 
professional side, I'd say that you have to "pay the price":

1) A good CPU
2) A good motherboard
3) 2 good hard drives
4) A _*really*_ good sound card

_My system is:_*  *(this is what I found 2 years ago)

1) AMD athlon fx 3000+
2) Gigabyte motherboard socket 939  (second hand 50€)
3) 2 scsi drives with a tekram PCI controller (one drive for the OS and 
the other for the datas)
4) RME hdsp 9652

With a setup like this, you can do almost anything you want (exept the 
coffee !)
I would recommand RME cards, because they are really _*PRO*_ cards, and 
the support under linux is really _*PRO*_.
Of course, you can go on with a Terratec card, but keep in mind that if 
you hold on with Linux and audio, you'll probably change your soundcard.

Few years behind, I always wanted to buy things to make music, but the 
cheapest as possible. When I think about it today, i'd say that I did 
loose money and time !


Hope it'll help

Cheers
