It's not only orphaned asm lines but also endian dependent code that makes a lot of trouble on non intel machines. It seems that lot of programs suffer this problem, but there is one project that takes very care about endian correctness, what was it name? Hmmm... ah, yeah it's called LinuxSampler I think. ;P Anyway, whatever brand or type you'll choose, I recommend you that it has an ATI graphics chip, so you don't have to install extra proprietary opengl drivers for X like it's the case with Nvidia, it should have no shared memory and a good display; I wouldn't take one with a resolution lower than 1280x1024, I chose one with a resolution of 1600x1200. Regarding the sound chip they're all more or less the same (anybody with another experience?). Usually and surprisingly (at least to me) sufficient for low latency output, but for quality you will buy an external sound device. And instead of having the best, fastest, overkilling CPU I would better spend that money in RAM (at least 512MB, better more). Best regards Christian
