Great info! I keep that in mind when I will try and interface with
some other circuitry. Now that the USB trap has been mentioned Mr.
Murphy probably moves on to another tricky functionality ;). I also
removed a Firewire card just in case. I'll drop that back in and see
if there is a change. And

Thanks Lars. That did it. I'm now running the Vesa driver. However, I
am still having the 12ns spikes...
In the Wiki is an identical machine supposedly running emc under RTAI. Sighhh
I removed my graphics card and am running on the internal one. No change.

I give up for today. Out of play time 8(((. The last strange thing I
noticed is that I am ONLY having those 120-15 ns spikes running
the Latency test from EMC. When I run the latency test from RTAI in
the testsuite the worst I am getting is 37000. Which corresponds to

One thing that gave me bad latency spikes was Legacy USB support in BIOS.

Yeahhh if you short out those NiCad's then you will have a heck of a
party. That setup is a tad to large for my shop.
Now I could not stop thinking about the fact that I had no mega
jitters inthe rtai test suite but in ENC all of a sudden... So... I
removed the SMI lines form the EMC config
While shutting down the system asked for recovery options I ran
through the 'fix X11' and 'repair packages' option and now all
works
It seems that one has to reboot after the NVidia drivers are
removed... Well
Now I am letting latency run a few hours and see what happens. The
