Always try and leverage existing software whenever possible. ;-) Csound 
can be used as a great foundation for many things.

I've heard many people report great results using the Pentium M chip 
for DSP-related apps in general. I know for some music softwares (such 
as Reaktor), many say the PM is quite a bit faster than the P4. I know 
that's not the best answer, and its lacking data to back it up, but my 
point is that you should not neglect to look at the "mobile" chip. It's 
quite a beast.
