The Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 is a very nice unit.

About the computer, I recommend you check for malware and run a virus checker.

Then check if other programs are running in the background by using the free utility, Process Monitor, or, since it's Windows 7, the free utility DPC Latency Checker.

Does the Saffire 6 have ASIO drivers, and did you recently adjust the buffer setting?
