The practical problem of this is two-fold though: first, it's hard to find a dsp that can match the cpu in the pc (price/performance is irrelevant here cos you already have the main cpu) and second even if you could, mainstream cpu design advances much faster than dsp design so you'd be out of business in 3 months. Just think about how fast the mainstream cpu speeds increase, while DSP's come with one generation a year or every odd year.
