Hardware setup for low-latency audio recording

Hey guys,

I'm looking to spec the core of a linux-based recording system, and I wanted some advice on the core components (basically the CPU) for low-latency (multi-track) audio recording.

I've seen CoreDuo2 (large cache, expensive), AMD X2 (cheaper with smaller cache, so I could buy some more clock cycles...). I'm not sure what is best for low-latency: do I want a multicore CPU or not? It doesn't seem that concurrency is much of an issue for low-latency, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Otherwise I'm assuming that the bigger the numbers for FSB, RAM, SATA cache, etc. would be better. Does anyone have experience with setup for this kind of task?

There's probably an existing thread, but there are over 1200 to browse! :'(

Thanks in advance!
