You will get better than 3-5 ms latency with cardbus instead of usb? Please

The tascam has excellent pre-amps (at least for that money), XLR-inputs,
analog inserts, phantom power, direct monitoring, no software-controllable
mixer (no hassling with several different programs each doing their settings
and disturbing your sound) and is fully powered over usb (even phantom
power). And with a recent computer you can get 5ms latency easily, at least I
get them with my pc and the tascam.
What else do you want except more channels?
USB. Edirol devices usually work well. Or the
Tascam US-122
which has an own driver in the kernel.
Maybe the Echo Indigo I/O? A nice,
affordable, reliable, well-supported
stereo mini-jack in/out PCMCIA (sorry, CardBus) card.
It will almost certainly give you better performance and less hassle
than a USB device, but you won't get much hardware flexibility, you'll Maybe better for on-the-road recording than an effects
box, but worth a
look.
The tascam is good for on-the-road recording as well as an effects box, I
already did both these things with it. And used it as mic-preamp for
recording with my bigger soundcard when I needed more than one stereo-out for
a monitor-mix...
