Cubase sx cpu problem

[efluon]

yep. if you buy somethin, buy ram.

and if you want processing power, RAISE your latency. low latency means also that longer tasks will be preempted often, so for lots of processing this increases task switches, resulting in higher context switch (and ram/cache transfer which is quite costly).

and for those p4 people. try turning off hyperthreading as this gives you essentially two cpu's of HALF POWER, resulting in the same effect (ht performs better for lots of leightweight tasks, like servers have).

Oh i wrote wrong, for´sure i raised the latency, but there was no effect because it was already high before. I also enabled lower latency, but i will try now to to set windows perfomance to "optimized for background settings and hope the ram will do the rest. But ti still wonder why the cpu "channel" in cubase goes over 80% or 90%, does this also show ram, and not only processor problems?

In general it shows how much your system is taxed. This includes RAM useage.
