Hi folks.

Is there any advantage in using the external power supply instead of buss power? I'm using a quad core with TI firewire chipset.

And second question: On my old saffire firewire the cpu meter didnt move at all in cubase 5.1 with buffersize 256 (latency 7 ms) but it does with ff400, what's up with that? (I can run as low as buffer size 64 without crackles, but the cpu meter still moves like crazy in small steps in cubase)

And off topic:

I just discoverd that using my own belking firewire cable (instead of the rme standard) gives me a little bit more stable cpu load in cubase. Fine i guess
