Well, then, I can't wait until you get a new computer! You'll be set!

That's right, but once you create your beautiful MAX/MSP patch, which is 
OS/platform neutral, you can build your own VST out of it. That's what I'm 
doing now...works great, plus I can share my effects with non-MAX/MSP 
users. 
I'm finding that a MAX/MSP patch consumes no more or less CPU power than 
the 
same patch converted to VST and running in my VST host...seems odd, but 
that's what my meters show. Creating my own VSTs is really fun. I've been 
making them, popping them in Chainer, and then Chainer allows me to map 
(in 
just a few seconds) any parameter to my two FCB expression pedals....for 
example, a stereo ring mod conrollable with the two expresss pedals, or 
stereo pitch, etc.
