Hey Although Im a newb, My Dell XPS 15 L502x 8Gb RAM [came with 4,just slipped another 4Gb $65 in my self,too ezy!]Windoze7x64 runs really great. I had an absolute nightmare with a new TASCAM US600[would not work at all with SONAR X1]I was only able to swap it for a cakewalk UA-25EX[dickhead salesman insisted the UA was USB 2.0 its only USB 1.1!Anyhow thesycon Latyency checker reads max 98us now with ACPI battery,Intel N 1030 Wireless temporarily disabled.I also have a HD TV as a second monitor with these results.This is using the miniport with a mini/HDMI adaptor,,if I use the dedicated HDMI to a second TV[3montors,GREAT for ladeling a sh@#load of reverbs/comps/eq`s across the extra sreen space]The DPC spikes to 1048!?,but using the mini display port only,its never more than 98! Id like to know why this is so?Some times I run the TV with SONAR using the Nvidea GT540 as play back at 24/96Khz when I need the UA for Amplitube[I just RCA the TV direct to my KRK G2 5s and the UA to a TASCAM2488neo to the KRKs like mixer.So even though I knew NOTHING about computers/digital recording, the gear Ive got has cost less than a BASE MODEL MacBookPro 15"![which in Australia only has a 5400 rpm HDD and $200 extra for Logic!!]
