Mine's an Inspiron 8000, p3/1GHz, same ammount of RAM. I've found streaming (over LAN) and locally played files to both be jumpy. Sound from movie playback as well, which in turn is causing the video to jump too. I've only tried xmms and mplayer so far, but with my past experience of getting sound working properly on this system, all apps will probably do the same thing. I had the same problems even in windows - sound playback only became smooth after *alot* of BIOS and driver updates. I'm convinced the Maestro3 is just a crap card. :) *sigh* > I was going to use this laptop for my band's live shows... boot a custom > kernel that would dedicate the system solely to becoming a sampler, but > the blips and skips were too ridiculous. Yea. I was hoping to wipe Windows from my notebook. Been setting up and playing with FreeBSD 5.0-DP2 this weekend and have been VERY pleased with how it runs on my notebook. Version 4 has always been useless for me because of no cardbus support. The latest nvidia drivers even work pretty darn well too. I guess Windows will have to stay until I get a notebook with decent sound hardware.
