Stereo Tool

Yes ST is comatible with AMD. I must test new Phenoms II and Athlons II ...

Works on my Phenom II like a charm. No issues yet.

Please note: This ONLY affects Pentium 3's! That is, if you get a warning during installation that the non-SSE2 version is installed. Otherwise there is NO difference AT ALL!

Hi Hans, Did you ever test stereotool on a atom netbook with a N270?
Or maybe any other freak who has tested it?

I installed the winamp dsp version on my netbook with atom cpu ,n270 , and the cpu is at about 50% with low quality and the sound is good!

but with breakaway audio enhancer my cpu is slow and more cool ,the sound is good too

Thx for the info. Second hand Asus 1000H is on the way for 150€

I don't have - or have access to - an Atom netbook, so I cannot test it - have to rely on others here...


I did test the Pentium 3 version on a (very) old Pentium 3, and it didn't crash, but the CPU load was insanely high which made it completely unusable - with everything disabled, quality High and screen refresh rate High the CPU load was already around 80%. Reducing screeen refesh rate helped a lot to my surprise - I'll look into that, it could be that some unnecessary processing or screen updates are being done. With quality at its lowest and screen refresh rate to 0 (CPU load around 20-25%), just enabling Multiband also increased it to over 90%.

(Maybe some faster Pentium 3's could use the new version, but for mine it's completely useless).


By the way, I also did some quick tests on my old Pentium 4 (on which I created and tested all Stereo Tool versions upto 3.something), and it seemed that the CPU load is varying quite a lot. I could get it to run on the Pentium 4, with everything enabled, at a CPU load near 50%, which is quite good (in fact similar to the CPU load of the early 3.1x versions, but with FAR more processing enabled and at a higher quality than before).

Did anyone else experience wildly varying CPU loads when switching filters off and then back on?

The "VISIT SITE" button was being redrawn at every screen update. Fixed, upload coming soon. (Should not make a lot of difference, except on extremely slow pc's).
