This is 1st time that a Steppe tweak went wrong for me sonically. I have gone back and forth and conclude that I prefer 'not doing this tweak'. At 1st I did not do the IoPageLockLimit tweak but did do the other 2 tweaks. These made my system softer, pleasant but softer and not as dynamic. So after 2 days of listening I decided to try the IoPageLockLimit tweak, 1st @ 2000 then 4000, 6000 and finally @ 8000. This brought back some immediacy but it still did not sound right. So I went back to 'none of these tweaks' and prefer it. What's troubling also is when I compare my registry to Steppe's as shown I am different in many ways not all but many. For example my Systempages is something like 30000 (how do you do those screen shots) not zero, PhysicalAddressExtension was 0 not 1 (aren't we using nopae in the boot.ini file anymore). Anyway maybe these other items is the difference, maybe its new 32nm hardware versus my 45nm stuff. Believe me I did not knowingly change any of these items.
