So, this computer (Asus G73JW i7 Notebook) is a lost cause for Virus Control because it has ONLY USB hubs (i.e., no dedicated USB ports). The latency is in the neighborhood of hundreds of milliseconds. What I'm wondering (and I realize this isn't a question specific to the Virus, but please indulge me) is whether I would have the same latency problems with the USB ports (hubs) if I used an external audio interface. It would seem that the data stream is still going to have a bottleneck at the USB port and I'm back in the same dire straits I was in with Virus Control. Can anyone give me any advice on this? One thing I should mention is that I DO have a dedicated (USB) MIDI interface (an old MOTU MIDI Express) so I could at least keep the MIDI stream off of the bus.
