    Negative pings on dual core X2/Opty's?

    Hey guys.... this is a weird one:

    I did some more digging and came up with some threads about it:

    has anyone else had this bug or figured out a workaround? For me, a reboot clears up the bug for awhile (1-4 hours) but then it comes back. I heard its solved in Vista but I am waiting for the Feb CTP release to install that. I already tried switching between the onboard NV enet and the Marvell Yukon on my DFI expert. I am using the latest drivers, patches etc.

    The weird part is that if I set the process affinity to core#1, the problem disappears. This is confirmed by other people as well. Here's a screenshot from PingPlotter, you can see in the beginning, at the bottom all the blank area, those are negative pings. Then you can see where I set the affinity, the pings returned to normal....
