nothing to do with bios, my friend, have to the box dual booting, has latest bios/drivers/sp packs.. with non acpi 850 - 950 fps & acpi gives 512... both installs are clean and using same css install, was only testing as an experiment to test sombody else's theory given it the digest( maybe you have read the last couple of days).. the article you point to states talks about desktop machines, why would have problems with irq's on a server box... non of them share & and is plenty spare, don't need the power management is still plug "n" play.. seems you think we have an issue wasn't case mearly testing out inquisitiveness..
to "[xXx] con" what fps are you actually getting, setting at 1000fps is one thing, getting as another..... tbh we just use one resolution timer per box, seems pointless running two, also with it being set to low priority it would just sit there doing nothing as everything else take priority over it, even if the other process crashed, would do you no good & maybe impair, haven't actually seen the process drop out so hopefully will never happen to you :) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
