Another elegant, outside-the-box take. Everything I have read about creating a dedicated PC said to leave programs not essential to producing music off your main drive, and to write letters and pay bills with another PC; you accomplish both with one machine. Very nice.

Perhaps you could say more about "everything turned off." What tweaks do you recommend beyond those referred to in the post "Optimizing Windows XP and 2000 for Audio"?
