Hi PeterSt,

You might not want to thank me for my previous reply, maybe for some of the information. I am getting a little ticking sound when I open up a window or a program, it wasn't happening the other day. It is not loud and is not really bothersome.
sometimes it does it and shortly after it doesn't? When I am using the XXHighEnd player, I am doing some serious listening anyway and not touching-up photos in Photoshop or surfing the Web. I'm am using the 0.9pd version rignt now, maybe it was the 0.9q version the other day that was not giving me those issues. I'll try 0.9q again and let you know.

Hi Twystd,

I am using Vista Home Basic as PeterSt pointed out and is working fine even with 1Gb of ram. I do however have to make sure all the extra features are off like Aero and programs that might be running in the background that aren't really needed.

Engine #3 is what I'm using with Q1 at 14 or -4, sometimes inverted. I don't hear any snap, crackle or pops when opening up a window or a program so far. System resources says that I am using around 700MB of ram when running XXHighEnd by itself. It is pushing it but has worked fine.
