Audio Priority in Win 7

Just got my new win7 SSD up and running.

Changing the audio priority as per:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...28VS.85%29.aspx

Changed Priority to 8
Left Scheduling Priority at Medium (Priority is treated as 2 otherwise)
SFIO Priority changed to High
Added "Background Priority" DWORD and set to 8

Is this cool or is there something I missed/set incorrectly?

I have a new Win7 box ready but I have not made the full migration yet and I was wondering about Win7 audio tweaks since there were so many for XP. Thank you for this.

I'm on Windows 7 myself but I'm wondering why one would go through the hassle of optimizing manually. Everything works great out of the box for me.

I'd only be making that effort if I know I need it. Otherwise it seems like a waste of time to me .

OSX is fine for basic web browsing and chat; which is what my wife uses it for on the road.

There's no way I would downgrade from Win764 to OSX and miss out on all the fun stuff Windows has to offer... The best games, TV playback and recording, Bluray 2D/3D.... basically anything related to multimedia and entertainment on the big screen.

Windows also offers lots of cool customization and performance tweaks like the one in this thread.

Mac's are cool and all, but you want to do real work pc is where it's at. I own a mac book pro myself ,but most of the time I'm on a pc. Only time I use my mac is for djing and simple web stuff.

There's separate settings under Audio and Pro Audio key headings.. not sure whether to tweak one or the other or both. My priority value was 1 under the pro audio heading.. with a schedule category of high. Regular Audio was medium and 6.

I wasn't having any issues until Diva came along but it's smashing 50% of an i7 with one key press on some patches so i figure it's worth trying the optimization route
