Thanks , I have figured that out a while ago, because "CPU too Slow" message has a continue button on it and sometimes playback goes on normally without any crash if you click on that. That message can be wrong sometimes. However I do get that when I add MIDI to my songs. >Pentium III optimization would offer (slightly) improved performance overall >without in any way addressing these latency/ timing issues that are causing >the problem. I disagree on that since that depends on how the program utilises it. I have seen major differences on some software between a PII 450 and PIII450. >From my perspective, such processor-specific optimizations which deliver >fairly small (about 10%?) performance improvements are not worth spending >much, if any, development time upon. Forget that stuff, work on DSP/ native >integration and automation. I also should say 10% is a very good number in Computers. A lot of people go out of their way to get that improvement. Honestly, my whole email " Wish List" was a different issue than this subject alone. I wanted to point out that LAW is falling back compared to LAM and other versions of Cubase and etc.. Some people answered saying that more features are not really that important if you do not have STABILITY ( It is the magic word these days). However, I am running a VERY UNSTABLE LAWP on my machine. Extra features or processor support will not or could not make it more unstable. Let me repeat; 1 * Cubase already works under Win2000, Win NT, Win98. 2 * Cubase also supports Multi DS2416 Cards, 3 * Cubase supports Rewire, 4 * Cubase Supports VST Plugins 5 * Cubase uses SSE instructions of PIII Processors. 6 * Cubase will support multi processors very soon. Nuendo already does. 7 * Cubase has a very nice support for soundfonts (Which I believe is a very importamt standard for next gen. soft synths and samplers) These are not minor details again. They are not unreasonable to ask for either. I do not want to make a choice between these features and stability. I am asking for BOTH. Is that too much to ask? What does everyone else thinks? I again know that EMAGIC will not respond to this. Thank You Yavuz
