Hey Phil,
Not to burst your bubble, but I'm working in Sonar 32 in Vista 64 just
fine. CakeTalking is working so far so good.
This new machine with the Intel I7 quad core, the , X58 chip set with
6 gigs of triple thread memory, is heaven! I haven't had one drop out
as of yet. I have been checking meders during recording and playback
and jumping to tracks all over the place with JAWS and never once, no,
not once, have I had a drop out yet.
