ok, I guess I give up on the dell inspiron. Problem seems to be unfixable.
Can someone reccommend an affordable laptop that is GUARANTEED to work well with the motu ultralite and sonar 6?
Thanks.

PC Laptops and audio software/hardware do not go hand in hand. Understand that laptops are built for convenience, not power use for things such as audio. I am a PC guy, but the idea of using a PC laptop for audio is like going to a gunfight with a knife---no offense. Instead, buy a MacBook---install Parallels or BootCamp, WindowsXP and you're fine.
Thank you,

No disrespect to Brad but I've been running Sonar 7 on a Toshiba Qosmio F45 with the ultralite for months with no problems.
I even use the ultralite to run Amplitube Live in a live setting (with an FCB1010 foot pedal) and the Toshiba only has a four pin data firewire port.
I use the wall wart and running Vista 32 have managed to do some very nice recording with in mobile situations.
The Toshiba ran me $1200.00 back in sept. has 2 gigs of ram and a now worthless HD-DVD player...but I've has no problems in either live situations or limited recording, I probably would not try to do a lot of tracks unless I kicked the latency to the moon, but in live I'm running it at 5 ms latency and Amplitube sucks down about 60% of the cpu (doesn't seem to know theres more than one) and it still runs fine.
