Hello Dmitry,
For 5 weeks I have been presenting a weekly program with RadioBOSS on manual. When I say manual I mean that I sit there and pause RadioBOSS between songs and make live announcements, give the time, and read the weather forecast. I allow RadioBOSS to automatically insert scheduled events such as the news, adverts, community announcements and so on.
All of this works quite well except for the lag I experience between clicking the mouse on the screen icon buttons and the action taking place. What I mean by this is that after I read the weather and have another song ready in the playlist I click the mouse on the play button and it takes a bit of time before the songs starts to play. To get around this I sometimes click the mouse a bit early to make up for the lag and sometimes that works okay and other times I come unstuck because the song starts with a BANG ... a high volume start.
I'm trying to work out how to get around this problem but I thought I would ask for assistance.
The PC structure is:
Intel Core i3 CPU 530 @ 2.93 GHz / 2.93 GHz
RAM 4 GB
mini-ITX motherboard
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
Graphics card is nothing special and integrated on motherboard
Windows Aero is enabled.
LCD monitor is connected via an HDMI cable.
Keyboard and mouse is connected via USB and a USB hub.
Our music library is stored on a Vortexbox and is 2m away via an Ethernet cable.
Should I throw $60 at the PC and buy a decent graphics card and hope for the best ? From what I can see this is the only performance piece of hardware that could be letting us own.
Should I disable Aero to lighten the graphic load ?
What would you suggest ?
Thanks, Jamie C.
