Re: 11. [New] Lower System RAM

72.199.1.251

With CPU-Z I'm still retaining 4MB L2 Cache with FSB & RAM set to 200MHz.

I don't get any improvements with foobar's file buffer either. And as far as setting the buffer to 100ms - I should mention I'm using version 0.8.3 with an exe ASIO (dll). So in my ASIO output settings, the buffer option is (0-63). Mine is set to 0.

As for CPU load when playing 24/96, it still only peaks at 3%. It doesn't make sense that CPU load has anything to do with how low I can set my sound device latency.

And if you want to try RAMDisk, I'm using SuperSpeed's version. (See link below) You can download a trial version and decide. You're right though, I'm using 1 GB RAM (I actually bought 4 sticks to use for graphic design work, but obviously using only 1 stick sounds best for audio). I set the RAMDisk to 512MB and yes that means I can only copy 1 CD. It's a tough trade-off, but the improved sound quality sold me.
