Re: audio drop

In Hoster the Sound and Video are heavily threaded together. So if the Video is taking to much of the power to try to display the graphics, then the sound can have an issue due to the video. This is why we only recommend the ATI Radeon Video cards. They almost always have the dedicated DDR memory, when they are built into the laptops. The laptops that we ship have the ATI Radeon 9700 chip, with a dedicated 128mb of Video memory.

This is the reason that we use the laptops that we do. They are more expensive, but the Video is one of the key items to make Hoster work correctly. High end video cards in laptops are not cheap.
