    Hardware ;)!

    We should start a black- and whitelist for hardware used for Linux
    real-time. Unfortunately I could add my two machines to the
    blacklist :(.



Which hardware is "bad"?  The cpu?  The video chip? The motherboard?

Dunno. I could post $ hwinfo > hwinfo.txt for a combination of hardware that will cause MIDI jitter when controlling external MIDI equipment.

My mobo is a M2A-VM HDMI with an onboard graphics 'ATI Radeon X1250-based'. Currently I'm using this mobo with a 'NVIDIA GeForce 7200 GS'. Jitter and jitter free moments did shift a little bit when changing the graphics. I guess it's minimal better when using the integrated graphics, but the NVIDIA, anyway, I prefer the NVIDIA, because I'm now able to do 3D stuff.

My CPU is a

My other machine currently is dismantled. The mobo is an ASRock K7VT2 and the CPU is an 32-bit 800 MHz AMD Athlon + NVIDIA GeForce Blabla 440.

Correction, frequency scaling was ondemand, I changed to performance now:
