Thank you very kindly gentlemen!:b
Bruce, do I understand correctly USB 2.0 ports are good for up to 24/192 using an external DAC?
If I upgrade to USB 2.0, will there be any other limitations left precluding me from getting 24/192 streams out of USB 2.0 port?
For example, I have integrated i810/AC'97 Audio/sound, which, I believe, provides only 16–bit audio: not sure if it has any influence...
Additional info on the Bus architecture, if it is important:
• Host bus 64bits/100 MHz
• PCI 32bits/33 MHz
• ISA 16 bits/8.33 MHz
• PCMCIA 16 bits/33MHz
• Cardbus 32bits/32 MHz
Gary, now I see the problem using my current two USB ports: one port for the DAC and the other port for music on an external hard drive. Thank you!:b
I have one PC Card (PCMCIA) slot available. Could you please recommend me a suitable USB 2.0 (I guess there are no USB 3.0 cards available for my dinosaur...) card?
If I install PC Card to get USB 2.0 as suggested, will my current USB 1.1 ports and newly acquired USB 2.0 ports still be on the same bus as the rest of my system (keyboard, mouse, etc)?
IBM ThinkPad R31 supports the following memory options:
RAM
• Two 144pins SODIMM slots each supporting 512MB DIMM card
• Maximum frequency: PC 133
• Maximum RAM size: 1024 MB
HDD
• 2.5–inch 9.5mm height, E-IDE interface
Could you please tell me if it is preferable to have SSD instead of HDD installed?
