Does anyone have one? or a friend who has one? on a Win7 64bit system?

simple loop player https://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=355161#355161 Mobius should be able to do what you want. The scripting feature can really let you do a lot of interesting things with it. Not sure about nw but you used to be able to have 16 or more loops going, depending on computer power.

I can't see anything wrong with AMD, they've served me well for the last 10 years or so.
And definitely get a separate video card. You don't want to be sharing any RAM with the video system. Keep as much as possible freed up for your music.
