<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">you should get better results with your OS and programs on one drive, and another drive dedicated for audio.

[EDurney]

[STUDIO-DE-ARIEL]

Yes that characterizes all I was saying Quite well actually. Also I was wondering about the type hard drive speed.

21 tracks is not out of line for a P4 1.6 with PC133 memory. That's about all you'll get with that setup.

I get 23 tracks with my P4 1.7 with DDR memory.
