Re: Upgrade? hope not yet
bstaley,
The only data point I have for you is from my Win98 PTLE development machine, which is an IBM Intellistation M-Pro with a 400mHz PII processor and 256mb RAM. With the CPU usage limit set to 75% I was able to get 45 instantiations of the 4-band EQII plugin. When I bumped the limit up to 85%, I could get 58 4-band EQIIs, but the user interface started to become choppy and difficult to use.
My experience with faster CPUs is only indirect, so I don't have any exact numbers for you. CPU power is the main performance metric when it comes to the plug-in capacity of the system, so a significantly larger number of instantiations should be possible on a 600mHz or 800mHz machine.
