Before I got my athlon box back in January I had my delta66 in a PII 400
system w/768M RAM and was able to do live recording/mixes with ecasound
playing 4 tracks from disk and recording a new track live. I wasn't doing
much effect processing, just panning and amplitude controlled by ecasound
control oscillators. If I remember correctly I was running jack at -p256
and -n2. Latency was almost noticeable, but bearable.
