Do the drivers for the interface make a huge difference?

I do have all of my third party plugins installed. Does that make a big difference in the score?

And does it matter is I have the Disk Cache set to something other than the default?

I start at 5 per track, max out the track count if possible, then start adding dverb 6 on each track and so on.

The low buffer is what really matters. That is simulating tracking. It will also show you if you have any DPC latencies and interrupts that will cause you problems. You likely wont see those at high buffers. I start at 64 buffer if possible, 128 if not.

I am working on a post for our website where I just tested a bunch of different interfaces on the same system and have some performance tests to post as well.
