Mike, ever play around with a MUSE Receptor?
http://www.museresearch.com/ It is supposedly optimized for
VSTi's.
I've never actually tried to make music with one since I don't play
electronic instruments, but that's an example of a computer dedicated to
playing sounds and running effect processes. I think it runs Linux,
which means that the operating system could be (and probably is)
stripped down so that only the things necessary to run the I/O that's
needed are included, and nothing is running that doesn't get used.
Still, it doesn't eliminate the delay through the D/A converter,
wherever that happens to be located in the chain.
The D/A latency is always there even in a hardware synth, since they're
all digital now.
