    The dietary restriction on CPU usage has really helped. I can now pull audio off my wireless network in my house, which simply was not possible with earlier versions. My dual core dell laptop also used to have problems even pulling audio from a usb external drive. (wouldn’t you know I only deal with linear wav files?)

    I’m also using a USB external card, which might have been part of the issue.

    Previous versions of BB would glitch minorly or majorly, depending…BB used to prefer only dealing with audio off the internal HD.

    But, not NOW!

    Best $200, I think…I’ve ever spent.

    I kind of like Regulator on a Modern Rock format…albeit with the bass drive pulled back *a little.*

    Otherwise, I really like this plutonium setting for Rock. Love an Omnia 6, or hate an Omnia 6, I do feel that it is THE box to beat. I particularly dig their new AAA preset. I still cannot get over the fact I’m finding Breakaway to be competitive with an Omnia 6! Yowza.

    I like these for modern rock formats:

    Plutonium
    drive 1.5
    range 66
    power 48
    speed 50
    bass boost +2
    bass shape +10

    Regulator
    1.2
    65
    40
    40
    boost -2
    shape 0

    I think Regulator has a nice effect on today’s rock stuff, especially given that a lot of the younger demos flip back and forth from rumpshaking chr/churbans to young rock stations.

    Holy cow! On an Intel dual core laptop w/1 gig ram, cpu usage went from 80% to 40%.

    Does this put it into the territory where it may run on an older 2.4ghz Athlon w/1.5 gig ram? Major cheers!
