I was hoping that a PC guru would drop by and tackle your question. I guess that you're stuck with me and I am not a PC hardware guy. But here goes...
My guess is that the problem is mostly your chipset. PC manufacturers compete on price and they skimp on hardware to keep the price down.
A problem with PC's is that a device can tend to hog a buss. And because pc peripherals are designed to be cheap, they can't tolerate this.
So you need a real computer if you want it to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
See www.pcguide.com for a better explanation. Or maybe this pathetic answer will motivate someone else to try.
