Not worth compromising that setting for Reaper's sake...
still need to look into the options mentioned above, though. Haven't had time to do that yet, still using my old software for the moment.

Just to be clear, Windows is the constraining factor specifically here, not Reaper. Anyway, have you tried going lower? You don't actually have to be constrained by powers of 2 (even though people tend to go for that); what happens if you set it at 100 or 90? Might be worth a go. Agree with exploring all the other options too; as I said -- good luck. These things are a pain until you find the right combo. My grunty desktop is great for studio work but it would be a rubbish thing to use for live, so I feel your pain.
