Hey man, whatsup. Where do i wanna start, uhh, i dont really know actually, i've heard (actually read from the allmighty 2 disk's i got a long time ago ) that you could get rid of some unneeded shit in XP so it will run smoother. Main problem i have is that when i use reason/cubase/fruityloops or albeton that my sounds kind of chokes up after a while.. kinda hard to describe...its like when the needle skips on your records..but i dont think it should happen on a p4 3ghz with 1024mb ram. I've just installed my pc fresh with all the above software and it still does it so im hoping it'll get away if im adjusting some shit
