Stuttering sound & games on a P4SGL-VM
Hi there,
We have a P4SGL-VM which has just had a clean reinstall of XP Pro and when we play a music CD using Media Player 10 or try and play a game which used to work the sound or game just stutters all the way through. Changed the CD drive thinking that could be at fault but it wasn't. Any ideas on what could be causing this apart from this problem the computer is working fine? Many thanks, Tim. |

IDE Bus Master Support [Enabled] ? I wonder why Asus was stupid enough to make that disabled by default ? That setting should be enabled instead. It could be your disk/CD interface is dragging down the machine. Bus Master support means DMA is available for your drives, and that means you'll get more than 4MB/sec transfer rates associated with polled transfer (PIO) mode. In Windows, you want Device Manager to say "DMA, if available", to take advantage of the BIOS setting. PCI 2.1 Support [Enabled] is the default and should remain set that way. The Delayed Transaction feature allows other PCI transactions to occur, when slow Southbridge accesses would otherwise hold up the machine, and leaving that option enabled is a good thing. HTH, Paul |
