Before I got my athlon box back in January I had my delta66 in a PII 400 system w/768M RAM and was able to do live recording/mixes with ecasound playing 4 tracks from disk and recording a new track live. I wasn't doing much effect processing, just panning and amplitude controlled by ecasound control oscillators. If I remember correctly I was running jack at -p256 and -n2. Latency was almost noticeable, but bearable. -Eric Rz.
