[Liverpool] Silent PCs

[Sebastian Arcus]

Damn! I thought I was helping here :-)

On the other hand, I remember managing to process sound with a lowly 486 
DX4. I was under the impression that compared to video work, sound 
doesn't require that much CPU. Am I that far off the mark in my 
estimates ? (not that I suggest a 486 DX4 - but at least one of the 
slower current processors, which can be run fanless without special parts).
