I've got a 1.2Ghz amd 256mb 133 ram on MSI turbo motherboard(raid with 2 100ata maxtor HDs). Running PT FREE 5.0.1

I set the buffer on the next to highest setting and even with just one track and a limiter plugin on get the buffer errors alot. Everyother time I try to record I get busted halfway through and have to redo it. That's doing <min. recordings to.
During playback sound frequently gets garbled and soon gives me the H/W error.
Is this normal or abnormal? The motherboard uses via for the onboard sound and for the RAID. Please give me intellligent info so I won't sound like a jack**s if I go complaining to my mobo manufacturer.

I upped the buffer one more step to the highest setting and the errors are almost non existent now. I find it oddd that just one step made such a big difference.
