    -I've read them some time ago and they give a general
     indication, but I'm not so sure to what extent they relate
     to audio processing. They all seem to graphics -oriented.
     Though maybe it's better to speak in general signal processing
     terms.

    -I presume with UMA's strengths, you talk of the I/O benefits?
     As far as being better of: the o2 is going to be used for
     concerts and an Octane is far too noisy with all these fans.
     The o2 is much quieter, so otherwise the Octane would be the favorite.
