I\'m running Gigastudio 160 on a standalone P3 Dell Dimension XPS 700mhz with a 7200
60 gig IDE drive split into 3 partitions. Windows 98 SE is the OS and I\'ve optimized the system with the tips from Tascam. RAM is 256 megs. Unlike others on these forums I find I can can easily achieve 130 to 150 voices with a cpu load of no more than 50/60 %. Granted, I don\'t use the Giga FX. I suspect this good perfromance has has a lot to do with optimizing and stripping out of un-necessary elements in the system. Anyone else have this experience? I\'ve considered going up to a 1.8 gig P4 but now I\'m thinking about getting another P3 700 and running 2 Giga rigs with a KVM switcher.
