Re: 11. [New] Lower System RAM

Yes, matching FSB/RAM clock speed is important. Dropping from 266 -> 200 MHz clock speed should mean even less RF radiation. With 266/200, CPU cache reduces from 2MB to 1 MB (I use CPU-Z utility). I'll try 200/200 on my 256MB DDR2 533.

With RAMDisk you need at least 1GB RAM which means more power consumption. But this takes away I/O overheads during playback - interesting trade-off. I'll try this as well - do you load each CD manually onto drive? I didn't get any improvements with playing .wav from Foobar's file buffer. Maybe Foobar's buffering is confusing things.

SRC upsampler / soundcard latency - try setting Foobar's buffer to 100ms. What CPU load are you getting during playback?
