no idea, but i have been running installations with 16 in/out channels on a Pentium2-400MHz machine running Debian/potato in 1999 (the main task of the machine was spatialization though) for 8 output channels only i would use an eeePC if it had any proper expansion slots. seriously: the i/o should not create any noticeable problems on a recent hardware. the requirements needed for your patch are mainly depending on your patch (it's always simple to eat all ressources) fgmasdr IOhannes
