That might be. Again I might have falsely assumed that that goes for my
laptop (2Ghz dual core) applies to his. Still I never had problems like
the ones he has with frequency scaling. Seems to matter at high loads
but with nothing using jack it has never been a problem to me, but it's
worth a try!
but apparently it's an old laptop so maybe it
doesn't apply.
Maybe, I'm not sure exactly how old, I guess a cat /proc/cpuinfo would
be useful...
And Firewire can be very picky when it's an
onboard Firewire chipset. If
so it could share an IRQ and then you most probably have to use rtirq to
get it running in a stable way.
Ah, I didn't think about that. It could be his firewire chipset is one
of those buggy/crappy ones people curse over here from time to time.
Again I never met one of those, should have thought about that.
I used to be really into tuning my IRQ's but now it doesn't really seem
to matter anymore. Maybe that'll make a difference on his hardware.
Thanks for all the ideas so far! Seems to be lot's of stuff I forgot
about...
