Best results are gained with cMP's sw and it works best when 2 or more CPU cores are present. On Pentium 4, try hyper-threading.

cMP sw:

Removes explorer/welcome screen bloat
Taskbar processes not started - sound config tasks interfere
More Available RAM allows for 1GB RAM to work with any CD via cPlay
Improved low level Windows 'runtime' reductions which can't be done in batch files. Two levels are applied: 1st at cMP sw startup and 2nd at playback time (svchost and/or lsass suspensions)
'Optimize Critical' setting allows for stable low latency playback. This setting optimizes L1 Data & Instruction cache for audio sample delivery which means lower jitter. This is achieved by locking the most critical audio thread to CPU1. Although load on CPU1 will be insignificant, this implementation removes need for a real-time OS and is superior (as a CPU core is dedicated to audio).
Convenience: remote control & library.

This translates to a smaller Windows runtime footprint (less RAM, less active threads) which makes for a ultra low jitter environment.
