An hour long ardour session recording 16 tracks at once onto one harddrive on an AthlonXP 2100 box using the kde desktop without any xruns can't be too bad. :) Part of your problem may not have so much to do with software as with hardware. The two boxes you describe sound quite different. Even though the laptop has a much faster processor, if it has poorly supported hardware it can cause all sorts of problems relating to xruns. good luck. -Reuben -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
