Mbox2 - moved to different usb ports because of some lag. Not sure that was the problem but it seemed to go away once the usb port was changed.

Went through the W& x64 optimizations.
Went through the Avid Windows Guide.
I haven't done a dverb test or added Strike, etc.
I have the playback engine set to:
64 samples and 128 samples
7 processors (at 8, getting inconsistent HW buffer error)
cpu usage limit at 90%
DAE playback buffer level 2
cache size: large
plug-in streaming buffer: check box, optimize for streaming content on audio drives.

So far it's running smoothly. Will post again after loading some older sessions with more plugins.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
