[Barely Human]

Ive been usin 2000 pro for a few years now and dont have any major problems. Someone i know has just got xp, and the vst wont work with cubase.Any ideas anyone?

[miromiric.]

nah, vst should work fine, but xp is showing a tendention to freeze cubase a lot. i get a lot of blue screens of death, so i dont use it.

Have a gander at this site for Linux Mark

FAT32 seems to gel with music software and games , NTFS seems to be to fussy ,

Reccomend 98SE or ME for Music & Games ,

2000 for Office products ,

XP for a gamble on everything , fussy bleeding thing indeed is little old XP !

As ive said on another forum , XP is a money spinner !

95 , 98 , ME machines came ready to go with correct spec's ie ,,,,

95 - 8MB RAM
98 - 16MB RAM
2000 - 128MB RAM

XP machines though are as follows !

3.2 GHZ Huge fast sexy processor
Wicked graphics card
Amazing Soundcard
40 GIG Hard Drive

But the most important bit of the machine

128 - 256 MB RAM ,

My point is to run stable , XP needs 512MB RAM , they have f#cked you straight away ,

you will return in a week complaining on how slow it is , then they will simply pop in another stick of 256 or 512 , and off it goes , £100 out of your pocket again ,

Peeps , Build your own machines , at leats you know whats inside !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, I have been using XP on three machines, all with different amounts of Ram.. 128, 256, and 192Mb, and they all run fine.

Win2K is the slowest OS ever made by Windows due to the security features in it IMO, and I have to say, I have yet to see XP blue screen on me.

I havent tried it with music software yet, but as it runs Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Photoshop at the same time very comfortably, I dont see music software being a problem.

However, I could just be lucky.

My birds machine has got 128 mb ram on xp , runs like old people screwing !

Mine runs sweet as a nut ,

Hmmmmmmm
