Thanks chimpspanner. I might watch it when I have time, but thanks for the summary.
Luckily I fell into some blind luck when I did my research and then hand picked components for the first DAW computer that I put together myself.
I built it just 6 months before I even considered switching to Cubase. [2 1/2 years ago]
So luckily, things are running quite nicely with 8.0.30 after a few initial tweaks.
But I plan to watch that video just the same.
