I am getting several overruns and I had tried adjusting some of the parameters using usrd_probe_devices but with no success. I have a laptop with a duo core centrino processor which should be enough.

and gnuradio libusrp version installation files and leave my dual boot setup intact.

You might try setting a very large output buffer on the usrp source
block. I heard this helps (you should be able to call this in python
after the block constructs):
/*!
* \brief Sets max buffer size on all output ports.
*/
void set_max_output_buffer(long max_output_buffer)
