Arnold,
First: This is still an english-speaking list...
Yes, evolution defaults to author, kmail to list, I got mixed up.
Second: That might be your oppinion, but its not
a universal rule.
I wanted to point out an alternative if she needs lots of IO and is
stuck on a notebook. I don't see how that classifies as opinion, it's
just another option.
I did use
my firewire-setup with great success for live-foh-mixing and foh-effects. Yes, I
did have low-latency. Firewire is capable of that...
Latency and system load are still worse than with native PCI/PCIe
solutions in current implementations, no matter what Firewire is
theoretically capable of. And since I don't know what exactly she is
doing, ..
And I don't think buying an expensive RME
pcmcia interface will help
Susanne because her pcmcia-slot is sharing its interrupt with the
graphics card.
Yes, that's broken by design. Something that even can be seen on recent
notebooks. Maybe we should start a list of notebooks with proper
interrupt setup to inform people *before* buying a new machine. What
would be a good place for this?
There are too many places that it could be hosted. Most obvious is a
wiki format on the
server.
I'll link to it on the LAU-guide when it is up. I'm sure it will be
helpful as netbook adoption rates are gonna keep growing over the next
few years.
Cheers.
