If you’re doing audio work on Windows, Rain Recording may have just released your dream machine.

They’ve introduced the ION 64, a true 64-bit computing platform designed for audio and video production.

Powered by two AMD Opteron Quad Core processors, the ION 64 has eight processor cores, up to 64 gigabytes of RAM, and room for 4 terabytes of high-performance storage.

By providing a true 64-bit platform, Rain has created a system able to utilize up to 64 gigabytes of memory, giving you what Rain calls “the single most powerful audio production platform available today”.

If it ran OS X, it would be that much better – but this looks like a serious piece of gear for Windows audio work.
