Hi

Downloaded n-track....the lag indicator just keeps increasing, so I can only record one track....I'm assuming the problem is my cheapy sound card?? Any recommendations on a new one? (I'm using a P133, 32mb RAM)

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
 
the problem possibly (maybe not though) could be in your machine...

i have a 333Mhz 32Mb RAM and after 6 or 7 tracks it starts to drop its guts...
 
I agree, I bet that the machine needs to either be beefed up a bit, or have a boadload of useless files cleared out. 64 megs of ram would sweeten things up a bit.
 
Ok, Thanks.

I was going to put in a new hard drive anyway (have 1.2G, almost full) so I'll double my Ram while I'm at it and see how it goes.

Thanks again.
 
Oh boy. You're pissing your money away if you try to upgrade anything on that old beast except the hard drive.

You have options my friend. Intel Celeron processors...400Mhz+...$50-90. 128MB Kingston PC100 SDRAM = $95. Nice new motherboard = $120. New case (yes you need it most likely) = $50. I recently upgraded a Pentium 100 with 64MB to a Celeron 466 on an Asus P3B-F motherboard equipped with 128MB PC100 in a brand spanky new case for $380 with shipping. Adding a nice 20GB 7200RPM hard drive will run you another $160 or so. The nice thing about an upgrade like this is that a little further down the road you can stick a PIII-800Mhz in there without replacing the memory or motherboard...and it's plenty fast for today's applications.
