Hi Frank,
I may just use the 2 laptops seperately.
The old one has been working now for a number of weeks ( fingers crossed).
I may just add 1 gigabyte of memory, ( I feel a bit more confident now installing the memory, having pulled it apart several times now). I'll midi it to the piano, buy Garritons Big Band?? & just leave it there permanently for use with OMB /forte/soundfonts.
Maybe less likelihood of something going wrong again if I don't move it round too much.
I'll use the new one for portability, soundfonts & BIAB. I like the way it loads soundfonts directly & the soundcard, actually sounds quite good.
Maybe the software will catch up with the hardware one day.
Not knowing all that much about computers, I just assumed that the 1.66ghz was the cause of my 10ms latency compared to the 1.45ms I get with the old 3.06ghz laptop.
Eitherway, my softsynth arranger system is getting sorted out again. haahaa
best wishes
Rikki

Rikki, it might be worth a try to operate your new laptop with just one processor. I don't know enough about Dell's laptop as to how to do this but a call to them should do it. Your onboard soundcard will be designed to work with dual processors whereas forte and ASIO4All are not. This will all change in the future as the software catches up to the hardware features. I don't think the slower speed of your CPU should be a factor. It will be a factor in decreasing the number of high quality instruments you can load and play.
Rikki you are just moving to fast.
