Hi Again,,
Thanks guys for the responses,
Heres a few responses as well as more info on our equipment,

You see this funky setup on some 'unknown' kit, get taken in by some slick sales pitch, 'assume' that one lot of hardware is the same as another, put this 'setup' on some 'other' equipment & lo ... 'tis CRAP !

Actually,, we subscribe to several recording mags,As well as musician forums,And componet buying was based on research from good sources,Not Sales reps.
I mention the setup we saw at the trade show simply as a referance to the huge latency differance between 2 similar machines.
This setup was Not a Kit.

Though Not ideal, their* onboard sound displayed VERY little delay, perhaps 1/10th of what we are seeing. *Emachine w/everything onboard
I agree,, useing the cpu to process the sound card onboards not a best case scenerio,And this IS going to be changed in a month or so.
Despite being onboard sound,
Cubase has resident ASIO drivers for the onboard sound on this motherboard,
It installed them, ran its self tests Everything passed and no conflicts.

Pro 52 Is a standalone software keyboard/synth. clicking a key in pro 52 displays a terrible delay also.As well as ALL software keyboard/synths.
Even Clicking the test windows sounds button in Windows control panel has terrible delay.
Kinda reminds me of a soft start setting.

We Have shut off all animations,screen savers,power option,messenger,messenger service,all error reporting,auto-updates,yada yada as sugested in most of the forums and recording mags,With very little improvement.

Anyways,, I was more curious if there were perhaps some simple settings or regedit, that might improve this.
Thanks For The GREAT repsonses
