Here's my axe:
IBM 2174-590.
Windows 98 SE.
Two HD's for a total max of 60-GB's.
Total 224 MB's RAM.
Delta 66/OMNI Audio Station.
Sonar 2.1XL
Pluggin's: Antares Mic Mod, Auto-Tune, dB-Audio pack, Ultra-funk FX audio pack and Cool Edit Pro 2.0.
Here's my question: I read Scott Garrigus's issue 14 review on www.digifreq.com about audio performance. (I assume he's got a an old axe set-up similer to mine). He suggest that the virtual memory Min/Max settings should be from 2-4 times that of one's RAM. (In my case 2x's would be a setting of 448).
On a differant article I read that if one has more then 128 MB's of RAM, (I have 224), then the Min/Max settings should be no more 250. I really could'nt tell the difference between either settings because my system works great either way.
Being Anal I ran a Win-Tune test on both settings and here's what I came up with: The uncached transfer rate for the setting of 2x's that of one's RAM is 4.163 MB per second. The uncached transfer rate for a setting of 250 is 4.2622 MB per second.
Cakewalk suggest that anything above 3 MB's is good performance. I guess I'll stick with 250 for my virtual Min/Max settings since my uncached transfer rate is now 4.26 MB per second. What do you guys think of my axe?
