This is why I went the Pulsar route - depending on the DSP's there is
SOME kind of RAM (SRAM in the case of the SHARCs) onboard.  The problem
is where the SRAM gets eaten up by an effect and isn't free to be
programmed with more essential code (ie. Synth modules.)

Well its probably not worth it to you - do you have a need to record
analog sources with unsurpassed quality and precision? If so, you'd have
to shell out $2k for converters - either for those, or for some by
Apogee. Producing drum and bass, I doubt you've got much of a need for
them.

Thats not exactly a complete way of thinking about the whole issue.

CD's are 44khz 16-bit but that doesn't mean that 44khz 16-bit is a
sufficient representation for sound *processing*. In fact, no
respectable piece of equipment does computations with only 16-bits, they
do it in 24-bit or 32-bit and then dither to 16-bits at some point or
another in order to get onto a CD.

The Nord Modular, a virtual analog synth, computes internally at 24-bit
96khz. In fact, the Modular (which is several years old now) could
probably sound a lot better with more up-to-date (cheaper/advanced) D/A
and A/D's.

yep.
