2 PC/interface questions

[SonicThHedgog]

1. well my other pc broke down with my old audio card so now im on a temp

with these specs

Celecron @ 2.00GHz with 3.00 of ram on a reltek card with a lathency of 672, and before i by a interface like the fast track pro

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro.html , i want to know how low my lathency would be with the fast track pro.

2.

should i get this http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro.html

or should i buy this

bump?

I'm confused by your title.

Do you intend to connect 2 PCs together via audio interfaces?

Or is this your 2nd PC and you're looking for a good audio interface?

Anything with ASIO support is probably going to yield much better latency than without--I'm using the old M-Audio 2496 and getting 6-11ms of latency. Gotta keep it low.

I've read that the pre-amps on the Fast Track Pro are pretty terrible.

no the title was suppost to mean that i have 2 quesions involving my current crap pc and a interface, which is quesion one, and was wondering using the asio on a sound card would be better then using a asio on my stock sound chip from reltek.

link me, i need to know i dont want to be stuck with terrible quality

This is a vague inquiry, because latency can be set by your buffer rate. I'm running a machine not much greater than yours and I can get a 2 ms minimum latency on my Audio Kontrol 1. I don't imagine there would be a gigantic difference between these two interfaces, but I don't know.

I would say that for the most part your latency should be fine and comfortable if you turn the buffer rate down.

either one of those would be fine for you. they are both barebones entry-level interfaces, so you get what you pay for: pedestrian preamps (altho not too noisy), lame clock, lame converters. worry less about your latency, since they've both got ASIO drivers, and worry more about compatibility with your OS.
