Hello,
i am working quite intense on lerning ARDOUR by doing. Using its beta i
exrerience some bugs that are more or less tolerablein such great an App
for no cost (crashes when trying some adventurous routing-stuff, some
lesser gui-issues).
After all there are only 2 really serious problems:

1.)Importing .wav-files fails too often (regardless if these files are
written by Samplitude, Audacity, rezound or even Ardour itself)

How is that on your setups out there?

2.)Many xruns, (some after 2 seconds, others after 2 mins, mostly within
40 secs or so - sometimes i had testrecordings of unbroken 10 minutes)

I use Ardour on SuSE 8.2 pro with jack0.74 as root only on runlevel 3 in
Windowmaker, all networking is off, no kdeinit is running.

System is:
Athlon XP 1800, 512MB DDR, 60GB Samsung HD/IDE, Terratec EWX 24/96

I think about
 wether i buy another IDE-HD and spread the installation on 2 disks to
get more bandwith
 or getting another 512 RAM to let Jack run without HD
 or investing in a SCSI-HD for installation and Projects and using the
IDE-Disk for Archiving only.

What would you prefer, how are your Experiences about this
Bandwithissues?

Thank you
