But I think you are playing a bit of devil's advocate. :)Let's keep in mind that the hard drive is probably being frequently accessed anyway while the music data is streamed off of it. And that these .dll files were probably loaded (if at all) before the user had a chance to hit the Play button. And that the memory, if it were that tight, would probably be swapped out at some point early in the process to make room for the music program and its buffers (causing, perhaps, a one time glitch, if any, not an ongoing problem that affects playback).
I say that such claims are akin to saying that the neighbor's electric toothbrush has an impact on your power. Certainly feasible, but at some point you have to draw the line. I am 100% certain that entertaining the thought that such a thing can be a problem will have a far greater psychnological impact on what you hear than the .dll files themselves. :)
