I don't think, that this is what Patrick meant. USB is not really suited for very low latency applications because of how the bus handles the data transport. But with a bit higher latency settings, it is no problem to record or play 4 channels without dropouts on the Quattro. Nevertheless PCI is better, but not an option on a laptop. For a standalone machine, I'd highly recommend a 'real' card. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
