that's not what I said. You are not fully utilising the full power of that system, and won't until you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. No reason not too as CT is 64 bit ready. Mind you if you do, you will probably want to still install the 32 bit version of Sonar that is, if you're using REX content. That's because Propeller Heads, haven't compiled a 64 bit .dll yet. I have and run both 32 bit and 64 bit Sonar on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Getting back to the issue in hand, if you have any 64 bit ready synthes then, you will benifit with running a 64 bit OS and applications such as Sonar. Even if you don't, you will still be abel to benifit from utalising all of the RAM that you have installed. Hmm, actually you do havve some 64 bit ready stuff that I can think of.

The one day there was little droplets of water, I thought it was because I'd over dampened the reverb, but it wasn't that, it was tears from my computer that just can't cope. Seriously, it is incredibly thrustraighting.

Is there a way to deal with that latency? Thanks.
