Pro Audio 9 + Celeron + Single audio track = crap

[mrx]

I recall running multiple audio and midi tracks on an old P90. Now that I have a desperate need to record a single acoustic guitar track along with two MIDI tracks onto a Fujitsu 500MHz Celeron laptop - even setting the audio to mono/22KHz - playback is unusable (choppy, out of sync, etc.)

Is there some trick to getting this to work, or does Cake have a known problem with Celeron CPU's? I can create amazing n-Track (all audio) mixes, with effects, on the same machine.

Thanks for any ideas!

The PC I is use for audio stuff (CW9) has a Celeron. No serious problems. I've been able to record up to 5 audio tracks simultaneously. Haven't worked with MIDI yet.

I was using the built in sound chip, so I'm trying an m-Audio USB audio interface...
We shall see...

Maybe you should try closing off all other running programs especially those antivirus softwares which constantly monitor the system. I used to run PA9 on a Celeron PC too. Didn't come across much problem.
