I personally have never noticed any delay with my plugins and such (I'm using Live most of the time).
Is that due to running the plugins on the external hardware, or do you notice a delay using native plugins as well?

I'm thinking of getting one of these DSP cards because lately I have been completely brickwalling my 1.7GHz box and must keep bouncing audio .. which I don't really like to do.

Economically I can get a 3GHz cpu, RAM and motherboard for less than one of these DSP cards.... How big of an advantage do the cards give you ? If it's not 1.3GHz "worth" (obviously the DSP chips run at lower clockspeeds and are designed with very specific tasks in mind) then I am inclinied to go the new PC route.

I guess my basic question is how much shit can you load up in one of those DSP cards before it maxes out? :lol:
