Cics here is some intitial feedback on...

... new computer (gigabyte motherboard ga-ga31m-s2l with f6 drivers, with recommended bios settings--I get .976 volts at idle-- 7200 processor, Kingston 1 gig memory, external gd on hd, juli at 192 setting, latency setting 48, AWE with windows xp pro). Sonics versus my old reference, amd, juli, no AWE, at 176 sampling are more dynamic, more extension, very smooth and a great fun factor. It sounds very lively, imaging is slightly better. AMD was good but not like this. I'd venture to say new set up is best I ever had including my beloved SCD1 and VPI ET III black Koetso. Questions I have are:

1) when running cmp do you just set it up and run cplay as always?
2) what were the mobo latency settings you recommended?
3) when I take the fan off the 7200 should I replace with passive cooling device or will the base 7200 heat sink (with fan removed) do the job?
4) how critical are registry settings? I'm still gun shy on these.
