Vista, Acer Aspire, Latency

[Strubbel]

Hi !

I bought me an Echo Audiofire 4 interface and spend the last 2 days eradicate my latency issues.
I followed the common tuning tips, stopped the relevant services, stopped virtual memorys, UAC, etc on my Vista Laptop and even reinstalled Vista Home Professional on my Acer Aspire 7720G.

But without any programms and with deactivated TV card, WLAN, internal audio card and some others and BTW with a REALLY fast system after all, the DPC latency checker still shows peaks up to 4000 µs without any action on the computer.

I havn't the faintest idea what triggers thsi peaks. Maybe the hard disks (WD 320 GB Scorpio) or the SATA controller ?

Any help or kind words are appreciated
Thanx !
Andreas

Try disabling your DVD Drive. That worked for me on my Acer 9425.
