asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Regarding IRQ problems; try googling for "Digital Audio Workstation" or "DAW"

As I'm sure you know, half the trick of googling is knowing what terms
to seed the search with.

In our case, what we needed was the correct term the audio industry uses
to describe PCs used for editing. My wife studied to be an audio
engineer a few years ago, and I studied over her shoulder. Learned a
bunch of stuff, no doubt forgotten even more.

Anyway, the term I was wracking my brain to remember is:

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

There's many hours of research to be done still, but seeding a search
with this term "DAW IRQ latency" quickly got me to this:

I don't even know what is all in there, but I figured it was good enough
to post. Makes more sense to have hundreds of searches than just me.

I haven't even tried "motherboard", "linux", etc. . .
yet.

Anyhow, I believe that search term could yield gold in our quest to find
the ultimate MoBo/CPU/chipset combination.

Enjoy,

Jim.
