RE: cMP - the open source high-end Memory Player

Firstable, I didn't install clean XP os. Instead I prepared preoptimized installation in nLite (without unnecessary components, services, drivers, etc). This way, you don't have to mess with registry once your installation is finished. I think it's safer that way and we're sure that nothing leaves behind. The only thing that I install are soundcard drivers, CMP and cPlay (minlogon ofcourse). Other optimizations:

- cPlay in realtime mode
- don't use integrated USB controller, instead I use PCI-to-USB controller (even ploytec advises to use one of those: "it gives you USB2.0 ports with high quality and better USB clock stability. With most USB1.1 audio designs this will reduce jitter in the audio, leading to better sound quality.")
- overvoltage SB and NB about 5%

In near future I'm planning to:
- replace system disk with SSD
- use eSATA adapter with separate power for HDD with music (outside of case)
- use dedicated audio PSU from Trends PW-10 to feed my soundcard (m-audio transit)
- test PCI Express USB controller (I wonder if there will be any advantages over regular PCI to USB controller...)
