Interesting. Are you using a home-brewn software for analysis or are you 
running a commercial package?

I'm doing some electrophysiology research (in vivo and in vitro) and 
we're contemplating currently using some Matlab and/or Labview for 
analyzis. The Lynx produces some 64 channels of data and one run can 
easily amount a couple of gigs worth of files... which would easily 
warrant the use of some 2-way+ configurations. Although matlab doesn't 
thread...
