If you are syncin'g to video, record at 48k, otherwise 44.1 is perfectly

fine.  From the sounds of it you are recording live theater if you have

mostly radio mics?

By the way, don't depend on the HD24's FTP functionality, it sucks.  Get

HD24Tools to transfer recordings, will work much better.  Really the

recordings should have been done in 24 bit to be honest in my opinion.
For the record I mixed down and released a CD with recordings off an HD24

of live theater several years back on an old Opteron 1.6GHz IIRC.  So yes a

P4 can work, even in mixing, but I will tell you I find it much easier to

deal with these days when I don't have to be quite so careful on resource

usage.
