Perhaps you could dual boot to Linux? I don't have any latency data for PD
on Win2000, but if you'd like to write a latency test patch, I could run it on my system and send you the results?
I've wanted to test this since applying the kernel low-latency patch, and
have never gotten around to it.
I have an Athlon 600, 64MB Ram, Redhat 6.2, Kernel 2.2.16 with the
low-latency patch.

Hello, I'm new to PD, and have been using it sporadically for several weeks. It is extremely interesting, seems to do the things I can't do with my NordModular. My thanks to all who made it possible!
I know you probably don't want to hear this question again, but I was wondering if there was a way to get real time audio processing performance out of PD. (windows 2000 pent III 500mHz, awe64, echo layla 20bit)
I've tried adjusting all the command params, disabling devices, changing audiobuf, etc
Is there anyway to knock the latency to hardware like levels on my system? Even if the answer is different hardware, OS, etc I'm considering a Mac purchase because cycling74 claims w/ certain hardware a 6ms latency can be had. Is anything this low possible with PD? I'd much rather stay within windows.
Sorry for the bother with this question
I'd like to have this ultimate control over processing/creating that PD can give, but I also need hardware like latency In/Out I don't want to spend money on a Kyma, because it seems logical that a PC can do this sort of thing these days (what with the nifty fast chips and all)
Thanks all who read this far, sorry for the dull question -daniel _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
