I started out multitracking 16 tracks on a 667 MHz Pentium 2 , and an

drive. It had to be defragged pretty frequently, though.

My first audio machine was a 33MHz 486 with a Turtle Beach Multisound and
SAW software. I could just about manange to play 3 16bit/44.1kHz stereo
tracks with no dropouts - as long as I didn't want any real time volume
changes. Moving up to a 66MHz 486 gave me 4 stereo tracks and all the
volume changes I wanted.

I've also recorded 16 mono 16bit/44.1kHz tracks on a 233MHz PentiumII with
an RME Hammerfall card and Cool Edit Pro. I successfully played them back
into a stereo output but they didn't seem to like being sent to individual
outputs.

For basic recording of stuff intended for CD I quite like using CDWave
which is free and does what it does very well.
