I think choosing wav or AIFF doesnt matter...its the same thing with a different coating... Optimum settings for RAM and DAE. I think you mean the amount of RAM you want to allocate? Simple...you can't. Windows has had dynamic memory managment (like OSX) for years...

A real Operating System like OS X and Windows don't require that the user set the memory allocation.. check out where I answered this previously on the Mac side. I'd recommend BWF files personally as they're more standard on the PC. Rail
