Good to hear, thanks. I'm just computer-paranoid (where's my teasmaid?)
Are those still around? I'll make you tea first thing in the morning no problem

it is a bit old but it is enough, now for Diva it's a bit short, did you enable the multicore option in Diva ?

Gives the CPU a little workout for the time it takes (depending on the amount of info). I assume that the setting it put in Diva is the setting it then renders at, which i set to maximum, since if i'm freezing for a track in progress i only need do that once. IYSWIM
In the Render dialog look at Options. To the right of Sample rate and channels there's a drop-down. You have a variety of offline and online modes. Online is realtime, if the CPU can't keep up you get dropouts. Offline goes as fast as it can but it ensures the audio gets processed regardless of CPU demand. Reaper offers both since some plugins don't behave well offline.

When you freeze a track it is done offline by default exactly because it's supposed to be representative of the final render.

Why is it old for Diva? It meets the listed system requirements just fine. Might be a bit old, but according to what I can find it does the job.

From what i have played with, i think that Diva is a bit too demanding for your cpu.
on the other hand, it depends a lot of the preset using stack, long release ... and how many notes you play simultaneously ...
