Ya, that was what I was thinking.
Nice page. Simple, but a good base for study. (just google everything in
there) From reading the HP proliant RT Docs I am guessing most audio work
is not as picky about lowlatency as the stock exchange. They suggest
things that will help but void your warranty.
I found out USB keyboards/mice are bad. Hyperthreading is bad (how do I
turn that off?) How many new MB come with USB as the only keyboard/rodent
input?
It appears that CPU speed control needs to be turned off both in bios as
well as in the OS.
Stay away from allinone CPU/audio/video chips which are SMI hell.
I have to try some of these things...
Anyway, it seems that the big thing with a computer hw upgrade is there
needs to be a lowlatency audit every time. (OS does not matter, this would
be the same for win/OSx)

Ok, so what I
get from this is that the CPU sees a PCIe device in the
same
way it sees a PCI device. Yet I know from reading the specs on both the
PCI to PCIe bridge and the MB chip sets, that there is some firmware
involved at both ends.
that would likely be in the chipset that interacts with the bus. device
drivers for particular PCI(.) devices do not interact with this level of
hardware (in general). How much all
of this interacts I don't know. What I do
see is a lot of brand new MBs that handle sound badly.
i don't know of any MBs that in and of themselves handle sound badly
(these
days, anyway). the problems come from a different set of levels (a few
notes on this (to be expanded):
