The guy at Steinberg Tech said "Get Win98...it's much more stable than 95...and do a clean install." I said "I thought you only supported 95." to which he said "Well 98 is just a debugged-upgrade of 95."
Go figure...I don't think any of them are sure what the hell they're doing!

I know from experience he was probably right. I re-formatted after backing up for a clean install and now VST says that there is no ASIO driver for my soundcard, only directx (ie.playback-no record). Tried reinstalling the Win95 drivers but they wouldn't work with 98. Shame.

As computer prices drop these systems should become more realistic. Of course if Steinberg had decent programmers you wouldn't need those specs at all. The structure of the Windows programmers APIs and there memory hungry inefficient nature doersn't help their cause though. Windows struggles at good multimedia throughput unless you have top end hardware acceleration.
Shit I am ranting, OK.... bye

But it's not just a problem with Steinberg...all software writers are guilty of it. The hardware and chipsets are way more powerful than they are being manipulated...but market forces and apathy keep software engineers from writing really efficient code
