I'm currently using NT4 but would like to switch to Windows 2000. Does anyone know if the Delta 66 drivers are working?Do they work with Cakewalk? I'm thinking about the 30 ms latency WDM driver issue.

Why do you need a network operating system like 2000 or nt in the first place? 98 or ME works just fine without all the extra stuff. good luck.

NT and 2000 are true 32 bit operating systems. Allthough cakewalk is very stable under 9X, I still prefer 2000. I seem to be able to use more plug ins before a drop out occurs, and 64K clusters on the Hard disk gives me well over 100 16/44.1 tracks. (But I use 24/48 more often maxing out around 64 tracks w/FX)
Big problem with 2000 (and NT for that matter) is drivers. WDM is supposed to be comming along to solve all theses issues but not as of yet. Only 1 out 3 Ews88mts that i use can be used under NT or 2000, Same goes for people uses multicard setups with delta 1010s. ICE rep told me that they are developing WDM that will allow multicard operation.
So I have to run normally under 98SE "Chubby: Lite" I get plenty of performance and full access to 30 I/Os

I actually changed my mind and agree with JTaylor. I never had a chance to try much when running windows 2000 because i had no projects at the time. but doing some tests, there are definately bugs to work out. i think i might actually switch back myself to 2000. one of the biggest problems i had with it was it kept having memory dumps in the middle of everything i was doing and i couldnt figure out how to fix it. because windows 2000 is also true 32 bit and uses the NTFS the streams are much better allowing more tracks. Thanks JTaylor for the info.
