Are there any settings or 'Windows 7 optimization' that you know of that might help?

Would upgrading to Windows 8 help at all or is my PC simply too slow?

I don't have many 3rd party synths or players installed.
Basically the only thing installed on this PC is X2, EWQLSO, Massive and Scarbee Bass all of which use Kontakt.
And all libraries are on an external HD.

Other than that is Avast, Ccleaner and Auslogics Disc Defrag.
All other bloat-ware that comes with the OS has been deleted.

That's it

Maybe something in the INI files? Or a 'paging' setting somewhere.

I really want X2 to run smooth. This is the first version of Sonar that wasn't solid for me.

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

Nothing as far as the OS to my knowledge. There are a couple of things for Sonar. One is the ThreadSchedulingModel. 0 = same as previous versions. 1 = Default better thread balance. 2 = Additional workers threads. Try each to see which is better. 

This goes in the audio config file. I'm trying to think of another tweak but I can't recall one. 

Cool, see now that's what I'm talkn' bout.

I'll give them a go.
And I'm here all week  so if something hit's ya let me know.

Thanks.
