[PD] windows 2000 latency?

[David Merrill]

Thanks to everyone who has replied to this question - your responses 
have already been very helpful!  Especially the reports of latency that 
you've measured on various systems.  Could anyone else who has measured 
latency (just an impulse or something through adc~ -> dac~) let me know 
what their system setup was (hw, os, etc..), and the corresponding 
latency?  (if you want to send just to me I can compile a summary and 
post it to the list)

Also, if anyone has experience wiht specific usb or pcmcia solutions 
that could dramatically improve latency I'd love to hear about them.
thanks,
-DM
