couldnt set no input. because RME ASIO does not have seperate section in live for input/output, only has RME ASIO or NO AUDIO. so latency was 11+11=22ms.
got a new machine, so here's an update (respect to adamjay for his help!)

1) 19-20%
2) shuttle xpc build
3) xp sp2
4) amd athlon 64 3500+

7) 7200 western digital ata

1) 22% (peak value, average 20%)
2) Laptop, Dell Latitude D600
3) Windows XP Professional SP2
4) Pentium M, 2 GHz (2MB L2 cache, 400Mhz FSB)
5) 1024 MB RAM (266 MHz DDR SDRAM [PC2100])
6) On-board SigmaTel Audio (AC97, using DX driver)

This is a very nice machine (above configuration at around $2500), but unfortunately not mine (performed the test while configuring it for a customer).

this seems a bit too high, mate. Have you crammed a lot of stuff in there? The specs are like my thinkpad, only mine is 1.5 ghz and peaks well below 30%...

How is the iMac going? I'm sorely tempted by one but I had my doubts about heat and noise. So is it cool and quiet?
