by the way, since I've been abusing so much of the GUI to build me fancy interfaces, I can see how easily it can choke on its update and flood the CPU.

Now, could an external video card help on that? What is the issue? 

I'm using a macbook air and I see that the video processor is built-in the CPU or something like that, hence no proper videocard. I figure the RPI has gotta be something like that.

So, does it mean a macbook pro or other laptop / computer with some badass video processor or card can run the patches better even with same clock?

thanks

me? guide? to what?

Anyway, regarding RPI, are these cheap soundcards being tested supposed to help in the CPU load?

I've testing some stuff with my audio card here on the macbook air, and it's a RME Multiface II (via PCI-Express Card) and it doesn't seem to affect so much the CPU load (as measured by pd's meter). I can see a better improvement on latency though.

So, regarding the RPI, is the concern only about the latency? And how much can a sound card help after all in any occasion/computer/systrem.

cheers

no no all.  just the ones on amazon. i submit my receipts to the uni
so they pay me back. the students can use what ever i get that doesnt
work.

BTW. if you write a basic intro guide that a 1st or 2nd year student
can follow (in english :)) ill use it in my class....
