Stereo Tool

I use Stereo tool together with Sam Brodcaster
My window server has the following configurations: i3 - Dual Core - 3,1GHz H/T - 2nd Generation 4GB RAM
But my server does not support any of the stereo tool settings from this site. The music stops for a few seconds now and then. My question is, what is the ideal computer specifications for stereo tool??
I am asking this question because my only available option (too costly for my budget) would be i5 - Quad Core - 3,3Ghz - 2nd Generation 8GB RAM

Your i3 should be enough! Can you bit more explain that?

- How do you use ST with SAM?
- Did you disabled ALL SAM's processing?

An i3 should VERY easily cope with Stereo Tool with everything turned on.

Although... I have an i7 laptop, and if I set it at battery saving mode I get hiccups as well (the whole system runs at about 10% of the max speed). So you could check if you have something like that.
