Some years ago I had the UX1 and OSX Tiger on my macbook. It was working fine, until some day I by accident renamed my user home folder. The UX1 then started to make bursts of white noise occasionally.
I read somewhere on the Line6 forums that others have experienced the same problems and some also had similar problems when creating multiple user accounts on the system.

As I remember it, renaming my home folder back to what I was before did not solve the problem, so I did a clean install and the UX1 worked fine again. Strange issue, dont know if it's any help...

Line6 Toneport UX8 - works perfectly, both ASIO with Cubase4 and Core audio in Logic8 etc...

Uhmm so you are able to run the Logic benchmark test mentioned in the first post on your Windows system with Cubase/Nuendo, congrats then....
I don't doubt I'm able to playback way over 100 audio tracks with logic8 or cubase for that matter.... That is just not as interesting as running tracks with a heavy reverb plugin :-P

However I run Cubase4 on my Hackintosh system and did a little test a while ago with the Albino3 synth. Just a 4 note chord over 1 bar, same buffer settings etc.. Cubase use VST and Logic8 AU so it's not exactly the same setup but as close as it gets I think.
I was able to do 10 more stero tracks within Cubase4 compared to Logic8. Or 40 more notes if you like.
I believe it was about 30 Albino3 steroe tracks with logic and 40 in Cubase....

Tested with a Line6 Toneport UX8 @ 256 samples.
Same results as the others with similar specs.

Overclocking the CPU from 2.4GHz to 3GHz gave 3 more tracks.
Upgrading from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 gave 1 more track.

Hi

I have a similar setup. It's a P35-DS3L board with Leo4allv3 installed and it works perfect with my Toneport UX8 running Cubase4.

The onboard IDE controller has to be disabled in BIOS, or else USB will be troublesome, at least for me in my system.
It will work but it'l be damn slow. Even the USB mouse vil lag.

The Jmicron (IDE controller) is known to cause trouble when running 4GB+ Ram and AHCI enabled at the same time.
Kernel panics will happen.

So a setup with only S-ATA devices, AHCI enabled and the onboard IDE controller disabled is the way to go, as I see it.

Been running for over a month with many hours a day of recording sessions in Cubase4 with the UX8. I have not had a single system
crash, yet.

good luck
