Just so you know the last few updates of Live 4 auto assign affinity to CPU 0 on start up so there is no need to bios disable hyperthreading when running Live anymore (just incase you didn't know) .

1. 31% (peaks at 29% falls to 34%)
2. Desktop: custom built
3. Windows XP SP2

5. 512Mb PC3100
6. Audiophile 2496
7. 60Gb and 80Gb (both at 7200rpm)

1. 19% (peak 20%)
2. Laptop (ASUS V6800V / V6V)
3. Windows XP SP2
4. Intel Centrino Pentium M 1.86 GHz
5. 512MB DDR2 PC2700
6. Built-in audio (Realtek AC97)
7. 80GB 5400 rpm

Note: I have just got this laptop for a few days and it really rocks! It's ultra slim, just 2.5kg in weight, has a very clear 1400x1024 15" screen, is very quiet and has a slightly better (?!) Ableton Live performance than my desktop AMD 64 3500+ (2.2GHz)... Built quality is also exceptionally good. Got a very good deal for this laptop in The Netherlands (1739,- euro on 7 april 2005)

19% CPU usage with a 1.86Ghz centrino? My dual 3.2Ghz xeon runs at 26%....

laptop - dell 6000
XP Pro (not optimized for audio)
2.0ghz Pentium M 760
1 gb DDR2 ram
stock soundcard with ASIO4All drivers
7200rpm hd

i'll post results with my Indigo DJ once i've optimized the system. can't say i'm upset with the results - i think it was 24-25% on my old system. also had a vpn client running at the same time.

It seems 2Ghz Centrino Pentium M systems have impressive performance.

Once I eventually retire my own Dell 5150 (Pentium 4 3.0Ghz 1Gb RAM) system I'll definitely be considering a Centrino based Pentium M system. This system scores around 26% to 27% with the bespoke performance test.

p.s. Hi there mister Fu !!!
Thanks for posting your spec ... and good to have you aboard!

Cheers
