Hello,
i have also switched form 98 SE to XP some time ago
and i have a midiman audiophile (midiman driver) card and a Hoontech
YMF744 (WDM windows XP driver) that run on paralell and then i go
out to a roland a880 close to the PC and then in the rack to a KMX16
where all my synths are connected :-)
both works very well the midi is faster on the midiman
i use an1xedit Sdiver 3.04 logic 4.82 cakewalk soundforge cooledit pro
and many others audio applications wiht no problems
98 SE was ok but FAT was a pain and occasionaly i had
frozen tasks and also RAM stealing
to be fair the NTFS file system and the task manager
control really make the difference on w2k and XP not to mention
better RAM handling
i have w2k at work since many years and now XP home since 8 mounths
they really never crashed !
maybe is the USB midiman driver but i have also a parallel MIDI
interface from Midiman on a small notebook where i also use an1x edit
and works very well too !
Regards
