Topic: Question regarding latency (for externally held files).

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.


Hi all,

I'm still experimenting in this software area, trying to make a decision with what to buy.

Before I do, I have one question.

I have a dell laptop

32 bit OS
2 Gig Ram,
AMD 1.9 GHZ

100 Gig drive with 38 Gigs left.

The machine is starting to slow down quite a lot and I need it to run smoothy.

My question is:

If I hold all my MP3's on an external USB hard drive and play them through the software, do you believe this will affect latency and timings etc?

Quite concerned as the laptop is only a couple of years old and slowing a lot.

I use Anti Virus/ Spybot etc to get rid of any nasties, but still..

Any advice appreciated.

:)

your machine is probally infected with some worm, virus or you just don't have it tweaked much. does it hit the internet? is it a dedicated gig machine? how many sevices are running when you start up?
