Hi;

I have a 8-month old Dell Dimension 5100 2.8gb with 768mb of ram, s-ata seagate hard drives, pci-express ati x300, aardvark q10, xp (updated), all updated drivers, fresh windows install. Whenever I attempt to use logic audio for pc with multiple inputs running simultaneously, 4 out of 5 times I get a "disc too slow" error. I used to be able to do this using an Athlon-2000 so I don't see why this p4 dell won't do the same.

Any help would be beneficial. I ran some of the tests from Sisoft Sandra, but they didn't say that anything was seriously wrong with the computer, in fact it seemed to test out fine. Like I say, my old computer which didn't have as nice specs as this one used to be able to run the program fine.

Also, I have heard that Cubase has a different way of recording to disc and that it may solve the disc problems, but I don't want to shell out the money for the cubase if it doesn't make the computer run any better. is there a cubase demo out there that I can see if it works before I buy it? Why did I even ask that, I'm sure there is. Anyhow, if anyone can tell me what could possibly be wrong with this computer and why it crashes during recording, I will thank you profusely at a later date...

funny thing is, there isn't a cubase sx3 demo.
