Right click on 'My Computer' and select properties. That should say if it is 64 bit Windows. If it doesn't it is likely 32 bit.
THanks. It doesn't say, so I guess it's 32 bit.

Hi Susan. I just did a jazz gig with a killer "Saxmaam" named Yolanda. It's good to see some lady players around. There's another one I work with occasionally in a big band too.
Any of the recent Biab versions play just fine under Win 7. It's only the VSC DXi synth that won't work on a 64 bit system. If your system is 32 bit then the VSC (included with your Biab 2010) will be your decent starter synth. Note you have to install it separately, it's on the install CD. Not the greatest but workable lots of us used it for years. If you have a 64 bit system then you're stuck with your on board sound chip and that's not too hot but Biab works fine with it.
Before you go out and buy either a software or hardware synth, understand what General Midi (GM) is.

I have used Creative cards for many years successfully although they tended to be geared for the Games market. Earlier this year, I upgraded my DAW and installed a new Creative X-Fi Titanium Sound Card. This is supposed to have a specialist music section, which I find to be complicated and not offering much support. In addition, the MME drivers have all sorts of problems like clicks and crackles during Play and adding artifacts during Record. Fortunately, the ASIO driver works perfectly and I now use this for all purposes. Creative, although flooded with complaints seem to believe that the problems all lie with the user.
Drivers apart, the sound quality is excellent.

Following up on my old post.
I'm using BIAB 2012 now. I'd like the MIDI sounds to be better. Also I have some other software that seems to need near-zero latency.
What are the choices? I don't see anything on the SD-50 page about latency. It's pricey but has some nice features.
Any other thoughts from you guys and gals?

The SD 50 is a hardware synth. Latency is only a problem with software synths because the computer's CPU is doing the digital midi to audio conversion. With an external hardware synth, the synth itself is doing the heavy lifting. The midi is going out of the computer, into the synth then the audio is going back in. The synth is doing the audio conversion therefore no latency or to be precise very minimal latency like 3ms or something. That's the same "latency" a pianist hears when their fingers hit the keys and they hear something.
Everything is a tradeoff. With software, it's all there on your screen right in front of you plus you can do an audio "render". That means a 5 minute songs gets rendered to audio in maybe 15-20 seconds depending on your computer. With a hardware synth when you're ready to convert your midi song to audio you have to record the output from your synth in real time so a 5 minute song takes 5 minutes just like the old days.
