I believe it. He certainly knows a lot more than I do about
processors.
BTW, I bought the Saffire Pro 14 at Long and McQuade for
around $300. It looks like a big square rack mount that sits on
my desk. It has its own independent control pannel called
Saffire Mix Control. It also comes with some pluggins including
Ableton Live LE soft synthe which I haven't tried yet.

Hi D.J.X. Sorry, I really don't have a clue. I went from using
an analog 4-track recorder for home demos to Sonar back in 2006.
Although I understand Sonar and the basics of Windows, I have
not yet learned about the guts of a PC although I probably
should in the near future. What I will probably do is locate an
expert on Sonar and Del systems near me to make a house call,
rip the system to pieces and start over.
Bob.

OK, a few questions, a bit technical, but necessary to help you
troubleshoot:
I'd imagine that your daw is using the x58 chipset?
If not, is it using p55? (do you know?) (I hope they're not
using anything in the h series).
Do you know exactly what processor, 800 series or 900? (This
helps figure your possible board chipset.)
Do you know what motherboard brand dell has put in your system?
(They don't always manufacturer them, they just brand them with
the dell name but they're really made by a third party board
manufacturer.)
What firewire chipset are you using?
Have you tried using legacy firewire drivers for your card
instead of the standard windows 7 one? (Focusrite hasn't fully
developed firewire drivers to work with the new windows7
firewire drivers on x64 systems.)
Depending on what info you can give me I can perhaps help you
better. If you'd like, feel free to write me privately at
<mailto:djx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>djx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, as to not clutter
the list with useless technical chatter on this part of the thread.
Regards, D!J!X!

Hi. I don't have a specific question at this time. I just want
to rant for a moment.
Del Optiplex, I7 processor with several cores, 8 gigs of
ram, Windows 7 Pro 64, new Focusrite Saffire 14 with Phil's
working hot spots, Sonar 8.5.3 with Cake Talking patched all
the way up to the latest and I still get errors, latency
problems with soft synthes and over all slow
performance. WTF? I have spent more time mucking with this
new system than I have enjoying it. At least the new sound
card/rack mount sounds great through the stereo. Things may
improve once I figure out how the route channels and mixes with
the hot spots. I truly appreciate all the work that so many
people have done to make Sonar 64 and Cake Talking the best
that it can be. I must be doing something wrong in Windows 7,
Saffire Mix Control or somewhere else.
Any ideas are welcome.
Bob.
