The more horsepower the better, assuming that you want to process
sample streams at 25MS/s.  At a minimum something like a 3.0 GHz Core
2 duo might work.  You'd probably be happier with a Core 2 quad.  Some
of us are using dual quad-core Xeons...  It all depends on what kind
of signal processing you want to attempt.
