yeah, I question the term "perfect". :) That seems to be relative as well. 
Sure, if all I used my laptop for was to load up my simple VST host and 
load 
Mobius to loop....then I can do that now and it is pretty close to 
perfect. 
But as soon as you start adding complexity to the system, risk increases. 
As with me, I was building a VERY complex VST effect system. In the end 
what 
killed me is a contention issue between applications and hardware. This is 
the most frustrating thing about software and computer systems. 
Applications 
will often work great by themselves, but they don't always play nice with 
others, which is why my complex system crumbled when I decided to try a 
different sound card.
