| Don't get the one I have (ASUS Z96F). It's a nice machine,
| easily-expandable, and it was a great price, but the interrupt routing
| really sucks for audio: way too many shared interrupts. Most of the Intel
| Core 2 Duo "Napa" based motherboards (i.e. Mac Mini) seem to have similar
| interrupt-sharing limitations. They also have the miserable hda-intel
| sound chip.
|
| If I had to buy a laptop again, I'd bring a Linux livecd into a computer
| shop or discount store, and walk around trying every single goddamned
| machine there, doing "cat /proc/interrupts" and "lspci" on every
one, and
| buy the one that doesn't have brain-dead shared interrupts or unsupported
| (Ricoh) chips.
|
| I wish there were an online database of /proc/interrupts, lspci, and
| dmiinfo output for all laptops.
That idea is a good one.
Into Musix we have only a few...
