Yes, and just to add to that, my comments above which do talk of drop outs are extreme cases where the end user is totally pushing the system very very hard with big VSTi's.

The only thing I ever had to do was to adjust the buffer to 256. Once I did that, my MS had more than enough grunt to meet all my needs and I'd consider myself a heavy user.

I've not had a drop out or glitch in sound every since. My spec is the same as Dennis, but with only 4GB of RAM.
