I run a design company so I have two computers deticated to graphics.. one to audio. Even though my audio computer is tailored 100% to audio settings I still have a few graphic apps installed on it for when I need to have all 3 machines rendering at once. It does not affect its abbility to do audio in any way. Likewise.. one of my graphic computers has a good sound card and I have it set up so that I can do a cubase system link for intense projects. (Although I rarley do)... All machines are networked and can access the net.
