The card is good, but cannot cover the root cause for the issues in your system completely.
And in terms of your "IMO"'s ....
You said:
> USB IMO is maybe not as really suited for realtime audio streaming as firewire was.
Sorry, but this is utter nonsens. I had also with Firewire enough trouble,
but at the end it were problems of the mainboard and a faulty TI chipset.
You didn't find your root cause yet and move it now to the technologie, thats bullshit, sorry.
> My UFXii might be for sale soon, LoL, as i plan to move back to windows 7 and firewire, or maybe even different hardware.
Windows 7 is a good idea. But the rest is again nonsense (sorry).
With a good working system USB has the same quality as Firewire.
The best thing that you could do is to try out Win7 now with your setup as it is.
And if you get with Win7 the same issues, then its something with your hardware (Mainboard, BIOS, drivers).
If you remember back a few years then people already said, take a PC with this or that chipset, so that it is reliable for Audio processing. If you do not know this and do not draw the right conclusions out of this, then you can maybe fiddle around in a system to "fine tune it", but sorry, have no deeper understanding of things interact with each other.
Maybe you should also think about that there are companies who sell video and audio turnkey systems.
They are not cheap, especially those from Xi-machines.
People who need stability in studios buy from such companies, to get proven and tested hardware.
And as I said in this or another thread .. sometimes you have good luck, sometimes bad luck.
I had last time good luck with my supermicro and documented it in my blog so that everybody also has a chance
to build a very reliable allrounder system for the purposess of recording, video editiing, gaming, office, etc.
But with all other hardware its a completely new setup where you only can hope, that all interacts nicely with each other.
But dont blame USB or Firewire, this is really not the point !
