latency is due to the soundcard drivers (90%) and settings in MC and/or sonar. you probably had MC set up correctly for low latency on your old system but once you set it you don't have to set it again, so you didn't realize you needed to set it up for low latency when you reinstalled XP and MC3 on the new hard drive.
in MC or Sonar 7 (they both work the same way) go to OPTIONS>AUDIO and move your latency slider toward the FAST side.
this may cause popping/clicking and maybe even dropout. I don't know anything about the rocketfish soundcard drivers except that I have heard a couple of people before you state they use it. I'll tell you now, tho, that it's NOT a low latency recording soundcard, but it might work (and apparently it has worked for you in the past).
if that doesn't work then try changing to ASIO driver mode. since i don't know much about the rocketfish, I don't know if it has ASIO drivers or not, but honestly I'll be surprised if it does.
if THAT doesn't work, google ASIO4ALL, download it, install it THEN change to ASIO driver mode. that (hopefully) should work.
