In fact, it's very similar to Windows 2000, so many of the tweaks I'm about to present will be just as valid for this platform.īefore I start, it's worth reiterating for newcomers why musicians have to tweak each and every version of Windows to get the best audio (and, for that matter, MIDI) performance from it. However, as any Windows 98 user who has taken the plunge and installed XP will already know, its system files, 32-bit architecture and fully protected memory model make it very different, and although some of the tweaks are identical, it also requires a fresh set of optimisations. ![]() During last month's somewhat positive review of Windows XP, I mentioned that with its default settings, it probably wouldn't provide audio performance on a par with a well-tweaked Windows 98SE installation.
