New version of DP is up 8.06. Anyone knows if MOTU addressed this?

Gonna Bump this..
I'm scared to update since i'm neck deep in projects at the moment. But if 8.06 solves this, then I might take the plunge!

I finally jumped and the problem is still there. It seems a bit better, but I haven't tested enough.

Re: VEP5 w/ Event Input = Lots of Stuck & Missing Notes
I might have have found the cause of this issue (at least on my system): the video card!
I replaced the old 256meg video card on my 2008 mac for a 3gig Gforce card and I haven't had a dropped note yet for a week. Also, DP is running 10x better now and is very snappy again, even with the CPU meter running super high. Never realized how much impact the video card had on DP.
Something I think we already knew is that the stuck note problem manifest when the CPU is high and the more you push it the worse it gets. Seems to me that the video card wasn't keeping up with DP and somehow you would start getting stuck and dropped notes.
I'm very curious to see if this works for others. If you have a slow video card the upgrade is very much worth anyway. It really feels like DP is young again
I hope I'm not celebrating too soon, but so far it's looking really good.
