    I would change your CPU for a Mobile Barton, then it will overclock like crazy

    I'm probably wrong here but doesn't the standard NF7 not have soundstorm?

    Definitely agreed on the mobile barton, it will do more than that 2700 with less voltage

    I know that the budget is tight but you may want to look at using an Intel P4. They nearly always beat the AMD equivalent for encoding, video, music production etc. 2.4Ghz P4's @ 80 quid.
