mungrin...are you using digi 002 or mbox? if it's either of the digi 002's you might try recording on the system drive instead of the firewire. I think I remember a lot of people saying that this is the best way---then to backup stuff to firewire.

as for your numbers they sound pretty decent. edurney...laptops ALWAYS run slower....so do p4s [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] (hahahah ok jk. that was low)

also mungrin you should try changing your buffer setting---you should probably get a few extra tracks.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Most I've seen with the Powerbook G4 was 10 tracks on the Davec test.

This system above has some interesting results. I take it that is the Northwood processor too. I think we will be seeing better results on the new Pentium-M processors now. Unfortunately it is going to come at a bigger price tag.

AMD price/performance is really going to show in the laptops.

That`s my buffer setting , do you work with Midi or just audio?..if you work with Midi you might need a 128 buffer setting because of the latency
