Why do you need flash in a studio ?
You will also have problems with java, as nspluginwrapper doesn't
support java. Blackdown has a 64bit java plugin, but it has some issues.
I use flash+nspluginwrapper on my big box without issues. On my
notebook, i use swfdec-mozilla, which works for youtube. (but there are
still issues ...)

depends on your workload. I can't comment on ardour or that stuff (If
the app is multithreaded or not).
You should stay away from 9x00 phenoms, (taht means intel right now, if
you ar going to quadcore) as these chips are buggy. Bugfixed Phenoms
will be called 9x50.
If you are going to 32bit, each application can use a maximum of
probably 2 or 3 gbytes (don't know exactly the limit). If you start
multiple applications, you can still exploit your ram. as unused ram
would be used as page cache, 4 GB will make sense on a 32bit system, but
8 GB only if you are going to start multiple memory intensive apps in
parallel
I wouldn't say so. But i have nothing to proof my point. that's just my
intuition. The raid stuff will increase bandwith, but worsen latency
(eg. access time). I'd say that for TYPICAL sata hdds and usage
patterns, the access time is more important than the bandwith.
I got a new seagate hdd for my PC (7200.11 500GB), and it's bandwith is
If you need a lot of sequential bandwith, than raid will help.
also RAID5 will improve the reliability of your system.

all modern mainboards i know of have audio onboard. but you can disable
it in the bios, or just blacklist the driver.
My notebook has an i965gm, which works perfectly. BUT it's not fast
enough for serious gaming. (compiz-fusion works, and it's fast enough
quake 3). If you are going to use 2 Screens, this implications apply:
a) you need an ADD2 card for your mainboard
b) you can only connect ONE monitor per DVI, the other one needs VGA
c) as the driver only supports 2048x2048 textures, you can forget about
running compiz-fusion with an reasonable resolution per monitor.
If you get an Intel processor and need no gaming, I'd get intel onboard.
If you get an AMD processor, you should get an older ATI (like your
X850 :P). These are the easiest to get working with free drivers.
Nope, for RAID5 you need at least 3 harddisks. With 2 harddisks, you
have the choice between RAID0 (performance, lower reliability) and RAID1
(higher reliability)
I won't comment on that stuff.
