<< < (2/2)

I'd like to think there is something special with my configuration.  :D

From a technical perspective, why do you recommend not using it?

It uses memory and switches I/O from smooth (gradual reads while playing) to lumpy (full speed read at the start of a file).  It doesn't change the data that gets delivered to the soundcard.

However, there are plenty of users that disagree with my recommendation.  In fact, there are a few threads where users are requesting the ability to tune how memory playback is done (allocation size, page locking, etc.) to make it even better.
