Which makes me think ... just what is the problem ... too much latency (which you just 'allow for' don't you ?) or 'unpredictable' latency this 'usb jitter' Platypus mentions - in which case the above will help.

BTW ... if you ask me any setup that depends on s/w sound processing (i.e. by the cpu) is always gonna be more suscepible to latency, the less going betwixt the s/c & cpu the better .... but I see you are 'onto' that one
OK Now were thinking here lol
We are replaceing the motherboard due to some problematic issues we had during setup,{Displaying "Unknown Processor" } During boot,, untill bios was flashed.
Replaceing the ATI 7000 to a nvidia Geforce 4,,We had A Hell of a time getting the ati setup. The ATI card wouldnt even run at 4X without crashing.
Bought a higher end sound card THIS ONE
That comes bundled with a demo version of cubase SX.. We Have the full version.
Supports the E-WDM driver:
WDM and ASIO 2.0
Direct KS support for SONAR
OS: Microsoft Windows XP/2000/ME/98SE

The E-WDM drivers support Prodigy 7.1 for perfect compatibility with Windows XP, 2000, ME and 98SE while offering ultra low latency performance with all popular music production applications including Nuendo, Cubase, Cakewalk, Sonar, and Logic

I'll Post the results possibly monday,,, Probly gonna take that long for this headache to go away,, lol Ive spent 4 days trying to get this damn thing working up to par .
