Alright, I've got an asus G51Jx, and it's USB sucks. With my audio 2 DJ I'll have to use the "medium latency" setting to avoid any shear drop outs, and I still get a little click every once and a while. For comparison, my desktop (which is a good bit slower) will run fine on low latency. I've basically narrowed it down to either the USB on the laptop or the fact that my laptop is running win7 instead of XP, but since I am completely unable to install XP on it, I'm left with fixing the USB. I tried getting a expresscard (vantec 3.0 card) and it's basically useless with my audio 2. It's choppy at the maximum latency settings and just gets worse as you go down.
The only thing I can think of unless I somehow get the USB to start being competent is to use this itty bitty firewire port on the side instead, but an audiofire 2 would probably be 120-140 after selling my audio 2.
