Keep firmly in mind that your computer will need enough "grunt" to deal 
with the resulting torrent of samples from the USRP.

Even if you're only recording them, you'll need a minimum of 
100Mbyte/second sustained write speed to your disks.

If you're actually *doing something* with the samples, in the 
mathematical sense, you'll need lots of aggregate GFLOPS to keep up.
