Hi

I have just taken the plunge and bought an ACER 5022 Turion laptop (1gb
ram, winXP etc), and an EMU 1616m cardbus interface. Running Reason,
at an ASIO latency of 5ms, the audio is glitching all over the place,
with the cpu meter going up and down like a yoyo. Take the latency up
to 20ms, and all seems reasonably well. Surely I can expect better
than this? I built an athlon1200 based machine 4 years ago with
soundblaster live card and 512mb ram and had similar performance!! Is
it because I'm just technically running upgraded versions of the same
kit now?

Ideally I'd like to be able to run Reason via Cubase SX and a couple of
softsynths and low latency monitoring. Is this too much to ask of a
laptop based workstation, even in 2006?!?!?

Any clues as to how I can make a workable solution using this new kit
would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Red
