Laptop setup questions

[xiaoken]

I have a moderately fast laptop, p3 600 256mb ram. I'm thinking of putting cubase sx in it, then hooking it up with my keyboard, a yamaha psr 280. I'll probbably add in a USB midi interface.

The problem is, the laptop uses onboard sound. Would lantency be an issue?

Looks like it will... but YMMV.
You better tell us on what's your goal and what's your soundcard driver. Anyway, why don't you take USB audio card bundled with MIDI port ?
