I use Ardour on SuSE 8.2 pro with jack0.74 as root only on runlevel 3 in
Windowmaker, all networking is off, no kdeinit is running.
System is:
Athlon XP 1800, 512MB DDR, 60GB Samsung HD/IDE, Terratec EWX 24/96
I think about
wether i buy another IDE-HD and spread the installation on 2 disks to
get more bandwith
or getting another 512 RAM to let Jack run without HD
or investing in a SCSI-HD for installation and Projects and using the
IDE-Disk for Archiving only.
I doubt your problem is hardware. My system is similar to yours:
Athlon XP 1800+, 256MB DDR, EIDE disk, M-Audio Delta-66; yet it runs
JACK reliably down to about -p64 (even -p32 but with some overruns).
Check your hdparms. But, most of all I recommend making sure you're
running the low latency kernel patches. This is essential. The JACK
FAQ has some useful instructions...
