I just bought an Edirol PCR-800 for Aus $550 and can just about get it going on my desktop with a motherboard-integrated soundcard. It barely works with the bundled cakewalk on my Dell lappy.

This sounds like an issue with Cakewakl and your Dell more than the MIDI device since all you are really doing is sending MIDI data to your computer.
What is the latency on your integrated soundcard? I have a feeling you may be pushing your stock soundcard too hard. If you want to trigger synths / samples from within in your computer, you need a low latency soundcard that can trigger those immediately. Many stock soundcards have enormous delays.
Are you having this problem?
Please talk more about Cakewalk and your Dell because my gut says this is where your problem is.
