Official GIGABYTE X38-DQ6/X38T-DQ6 Info/BIOS Thread

[Buggalugs]

Well, I don't think this is a mb bug. I've encountered this problem when I was running a software (in my case cyberlink 64 bit software mpeg 2 encoder, for my tv tunner), after I uninstalled it here is my latency with tv-tunner application running and a wmware linux 2 processors virtual machine:

I disagree. I have tested this in many different ways. I tried XP with a fresh installation, Vista with a fresh installation its still the same. No drivers on the machine at all. SP1 and no SP. Some people just have a worse problem than others.

Like i said before i purchased new ram/ PSu/ CPU/ tried 3 different video cards 2X8800Gt's and a 3870.

Its true high latency is usually caused by faulty/badly written drivers, thats why that program was made, but in this case theres something wrong with the board IMO.


@ Typhoon dont waste ur money like i did buying new parts to solve the problem. Unless you want to buy another motherboard, that will solve it .
Unfortunately most Gigabyte boards have the problem so...

I'm not confident theyre gonna fix this properly. I'm planning to get another board ASAP, probably a P5E3 or something or i might wait another month and see how the P45 boards perform. DDR3 is dirt cheap now too.

I'm thinking this is a bigger problem than alot of people realize. Alot of the complaints about slow unresponsive Vista can be traced backto this problem. Gigabyte P35 boards are the most common mainstream board sold since Vista was released and your average user doesnt know about DPC latency or come to forums like this so its easy to blame Vista.
