- Actually, upto 48Khz (DAT sampling rate) is supported.

- NO, this is not a supported configuration. It has never been tested. Due

- no product that you can order that will get you just the 735 CPU board.
- The only way of doing that would be to order via 10 digit part number (if
- HP would allow you to do that). Again, it is unsupported, and probably
- will not work.
-
- Audio is not optional on the 735.

- No, CD/DAT quality audio is optional on the 755. It is not on the CPU
- board. CD/DAT quality audio for the 755 is on an optional SGC card. This
- card also accepts an optional daughterboard for FDDI. So if you get FDDI,
- you also get audio, i.e. it is not possible to get FDDI without getting
- audio for the 755).
