Re: Possible faulty A16U

If you do get one, please double check the connectivity of the pins, the data sheet isn't as clear as it could be... should be ok, but worth checking with a multimeter / continuity tester

Hi Petal,

I have found Process Lasso from bitsum helped me

Definitely worth a try.

You can assign CPU cores, power schedules, and scheduling priority etc on a per program basis.

Hey Jimmy,

Current 2nd Hand prices 14/15 DSP 6 DSP and NOAH EX?

I haven't been making music for a while, and kind of missed the boat on the intro prices for an XITE-1, but would like to buy one soon.

Any idea what I might expect to achieve as a second hand price for:

14/15 DSP booster
14/15 DSP card
6 DSP card
Noah EX

Is there still demand / a market for the ...

Re: Want Faster XP? Pagefile in top 3-4GB of RAM on a 8GB system

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've found it to be very stable. One minor niggle. XP says that there's not enough room to expand the registry, not sure if this is due to the ram drive or not. This doesn't seem to have caused any problems.

Re: Want Faster XP? Pagefile in top 3-4GB of RAM on a 8GB system

the STS5000 should fly with samples stored on the ramdrive, but I would be cautious for live use. Certainly only ever copies on the ramdrive.

The Cenatek software doesn't specifically mention the pagefile, or that it's memory is taken from above the 3.2GB cut off that XP 32bit can see.

They do ...

Re: Want Faster XP? Pagefile in top 3-4GB of RAM on a 8GB system

Hi Jimmy et al,

Just to clarify, as Stardust mentioned yes I use some of my 8GB of RAM. No SSD drives, nice as they are (I want one, but will wait a bit until the price drops). I had previously looked into getting a PCI device that took DDR Ram, but when I realised that the majority hook up via ...

Want Faster XP? Pagefile in top 3-4GB of RAM on a 8GB system

One way to speed up XP is to put the pagefile and temp files on a RAM drive.

There may be other programs that will do this, but the one below works (for my hardware):

It will allow you to create a Ramdrive (I could allocate about 2.9GB) in memory that ...

As previously mentioned, treat the room if possible.

If you have the cash, the Quested range are very good. S7 + sub is fantastic. Non fatiguing, and accurate at low volume. You should be able to get by without the sub using the S8, but the sub is very good if you can afford it. Worth an audition.

I like the Genelec range, very accurate, but I found ...
