The latency is how long it takes for your keystroke to be heard.
Your computer usually uses a buffer to create sounds, and passes this buffer to the sound card when it's full. The larger the buffer is the longer it takes for the sound to reach the soundcard and therefore the speakers.
Sometimes, the soundcards themselves have a latency issue whereby they take a while to emit anyway, but that's uncommon, and if you get it, you have a naff card :D
Renoise? Cool, How much did you grab that for? I've not used it, keep meaning to though!
As for the 3800+, It wasn't a custom build, it was one that was as close to what I wanted as possible, with certain features a Must.
I never really pushed my 6800, so I am not going to be missing out on much between now and when I swap the x1300 for the 6800 :)
