Hi:
What do you plan to do with your audio workstation? As you can
imagine, editing one file with Audacity is very different from running
a SuperCollider server for many users while simultaneously recording
its output with Ardour *and* broadcasting it on the Internet.

Folks,
I know what hardware spec I'd put in a server, and what spec I'd
put in a standard workstation, but can anyone give me some idea of
what a decent spec is for a Fedora Music / PlanetCCRMA / etc
workstation is please? Do I really need a quad-(or more-)core
system? what about RAM? etc? Assume I've done all the sane things
like install Jack, kick Pulseaudio to the curb where it belongs,
disable unnecessary services, etc. My current box is an "AMD
Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+" based system, but it seems to struggle
with even the most basic tasks, and I struggle to see why. I want
to be in a situation where I can be 75%+ sure that the hardware is
fast enough and not causing me issues.
I don't hold with this (apparent) Microsoft philosophy of that the
newer version of windows is faster, but that's because your new PC
that comes pre-installed will be faster by virtue of Moore's Law,
so I usually refrain from upgrading hardware too quickly, but this
whole Fedora Music thing is a different ball-game for me, where I
really genuinely might need the extra resources for a useful
purpose.
