I have an HP Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX Lap Top with 250 gb 7,200rpm hard drive and 2 gb ram. It only has a 2.2GHz Intel Celeron 900 Single-core processor, but I'm told it should be able to run Acid and Ampitube, Ezdrummer and several other plug ins and up to 20 tracks at the same time with no problem. I only have five tracks going and it's hiccuping and spuddering and crashing on me all the time. It doesn't matter what buffer settings I try. Sometimes I'll raise the buffer for playback and it will run great for a few minutes then start crapping out. The CPU goes up to about 30% max and around 20% average. I still have over 1g ram free when running all the software so why the problems?
Would adding another 2 gb of memory help or is my processor too slow even to record a few tracks?
I can't afford a better lap top right now. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
