Cool

most of the pc freezing problems i've had related to incompatibilities with graphics or network adapters, or memory (ram) problems... not with the software...

that said, sonar 6 is very stable, and motu drivers have been working in my comp for years with no problems. of course some plugins are not as well coded as others, but since sonar 6 came with native vst support, incompatibilities have gotten less frequent.

another thing is that when i built my computer i used premium ram (kingston or such) instead of cheap generic stuff and also used a genuine intel motherboard. my computer can run for months without a single glitch. choose your components well and you'll minimize the chances of something going wrong (don't simply buy a generic closed box system)... but i can guarantee that the motu drivers work just fine on XP, and sonar is very stable. also i recommend at least 2gb ram for audio applications...
