"Windows Pro" could be XP Pro or Vista...

IF using ASIO drivers, set Background Services to Priority in either case. Google to see how to do that for your particular OS.

Also, the C: drive that ships with many Emachines may be a 7200rpm drive, BUT many were shipped with only a 2mb cache, kiss of death for audio streaming.

You can remedy that with an aftermarket drive that is minimum 7200 w/8mb cache or better, you can leave the programs and OS on the original drive, just point the host recording programs to use the second drive, first partition for the Temp Audio streaming.
