ok - understood

I would say - get as much out of scsi as you can ... delay any 
decisions in that area - the alternatives will only get better.

Its not really a matter of mac vs pc or numer of slots - just 
continue to work with what you have - 5.2 for Win will serve you 
(just as it would have in any case) for the next year.
Beyond that - you will still have the same choices hardware- wise. 
But the CPU's and peripherals available will be faster better - in 
other words the choice down the road will be much more clear.  In the 
meantime - make music.
