I had a similar problem. I had to REALLY play with the setpci latency_timer setting to get rid of the problem.
Just using the setting on the website will not necessarily get rid of this problem. Basically, you just have to play around with the setting. I did something like the following, to find the right setting for my system. Set the default in the bios for everything as per the website. /sbin/setpci -s 05:09.0 latency_timer=32 test /sbin/setpci -s 05:09.0 latency_timer=64 test /sbin/setpci -s 05:09.0 latency_timer=72 test /sbin/setpci -s 05:09.0 latency_timer=96 test etc.... For my system it came out being the following setting that seemed to work best. /sbin/setpci -s 05:09.0 latency_timer=72 On Sunday 23 November 2008 08:26:54 pm Gary Desrochers wrote: > I really am not trying to make an intel vs. amd thread.
