How do you configure your DAW?

[TommyS]

Ok i`ve wondered for a while how other people setup their system and perhaps if i go a bit over the top

Anyway this is how I do it:

1. Have a multiboot system - 1 OS[XP] for the DAW and the other`s for general purpose.

2. Use a tool called XPlite: http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html

It lets you strip all the crap thats not needed for a DAW system.

3. Do some registry tweaks and disable all of the services thats not needed.

4. Then do some defragging and system cleaning afterwards.
