Oh boy, am I happy! The funny thing is, the percentage doesn't hike up when I lower the buffer size to 128.

Now if I could just get this box to launch Pro Tools, I'd be over the moon. (*$#%!@#%(

HI,

Just run the test on my notebook:

1) It peaked at 27%, but only just...peak's important though...
2)Notebook, unbranded (put together by pcspecialist.co.uk).
3)Windows XP sp 2
4)Intel Centrino 1.5 Ghz
5) 1Gb Ram (not sure speed)
6) Using MobilePre USB with Asio driver
7)Toshiba 80Gb HD MK8025GAS (don't really know what that means!)

I had to put up the latency a great deal to get it up to 512 samples, I would normally have it as low as 80 samples

I think this falls exactly into place on the graph produced for the first 44 machines.

My notebook cost @ £1100 about 3 months ago. I'm very happy so far.

ASUS B1000 laptop, 384 mb ram, 1ghz pentium 3 (speedstep), windows Xp SP1 = 82%

oh i forgot - ESI quatafire 610 with buffer 448 samples (not 512)

but if i change screen resolution to 1024x768 (normal is 1400x1050) peek is 79 %... that's still not good...

7) Hard Disk Drive Speed (if you know): 60GB 7200 RPM

I also have a USB 2.0 Maxtor external drive, if I get a chance will re-test using that.
MME Realtek DX driver option was used for 512 sample setting.
Peak CPU is indicated, low was 20%.

7) Hard Disk Drive Speed (if you know) 80 GB 5400 rpm

Ok, here's my test results...

1) Ableton Live CPU Meter % - peaked @ 34%

2) Laptop/Desktop? Custom made (don't trust those shops to build computers... want something done right, do it yourself )

3) Operating System - Windows XP Professional SP2

4) CPU Make Model and Speed - AMD Sempron 2400+ (real speed 1.67 Ghz)

5) Amount of Ram / Speed of Ram - 256MB DDR 400

6) Soundcard - C-Media, onboard, running ASIO4ALL 2

7) Hard Disk Drive Speed - Seagate 80GB ATA133 5200rpm

Will test on my Toshiba laptop in some 2 weeks or so...

thanks for the result D-Plate
that is a great showing for the Sempron. i'm very impressed. AMD's budget processor seems to do far better than Intel's Celeron.
This score is better than the P4 2.4ghz, and with a cpu that is 1/3 the price.

1) Ableton Live CPU Meter 44%
2) Laptop/Desktop? Neither! Bespoke rack mount I built
3) Operating System Win 2000 SP4
