Its not a question of "what you have but HOW you use it".
When doing "some" of the things you do with my machine which has a radio
network running on it and is very interrupt intensive i get packet under
and overruns but it does not miss a beat in the long run.
So what am i saying is, yes i agree with you whole hartidly.
