Does anyone know a good way to determine where the bottleneck is on a PC?
I'm running the latest Cubase SX with a lot of VST Plugins etc., and things start making "popping" and "crackle" noises unless I turn up the buffer on my sound card. This makes the latency get bad, though.
I'd like to determine what the bottleneck is here... I think that it's probably RAM (I only have 1 gig of ram installed, and I have a 2.8 Ghz P4 Processor), but I am just wondering if there's a way to test to make sure, so that I don't waste money on something that's not needed.
If I find the bottleneck and widen it, then I will be able to run more VST's, etc. at a given buffer amount without any "popping" or "crackling" than I would before I widened the bottleneck, right?
