Well, I guess I would ask why you think you need a new MB and processor? I 
only use a 1.8gHz CPu in my studio, and have rarely (if ever) felt I 
needed more power.  That should be more than enough to run what you want, 
I know cause I do it all the time.  ;)  You can get a new case (Enlight 
makes some very quiet cases/power supplies) and quieter fans 
(www.quietpc.com) for less than $150 easy.

Personally, I'm not even thinking of redoing my PC until we start seeing 
more 64 bit processors and MB's at a decent price, as well as PCI-X 
included on the MB.

Just my $.02 though.

Actually for Emulator X w/1820M + LIVE and maybe Cubase

I have a great 1.6 ghz Athlon PC (my first PC) built to top spec now
w/great power supply, cabling, etc but it is loud, the case is huge,
the ASUS mobo will accept max 1.8 ghz processor....seems more cost
worthy to repurpose it than tear it apart and install new mobo and
processor, and now I wonder why I paid $1200 for it - the parts will
far outlast it's usefulness - thus I am thinking cheap cheap prebuilt
for the next PC - if it falls apart by 1-2 years from now...it matters
not. 

I stumbled across this site - tips for music pc:

Phil Rees lists video memory as being the least important
consideration for a music PC
