My machine is a P4 3.2ghz with 2gb of ram.  If I set latency to about
10ms, I can have massive running in a full arrangement with other soft
synths and hardware instruments (ive had ~20 tracks going) and dont
have any issues.   I even have a track with multiple Massive instances
that runs fine.  Maybe I am just lucky?  My windows machine is pretty
finely tuned...
