    64??!! are you sure that's not agp? 64 would almost certainly cause damage to pci cards...64 would be normal for agp cards...

    PCI latency, not PCI MHz...

    The higher the number, the longer any single PCI device can hog the bus. 32-64 should be fine.
    Currently using:
    Gigabyte nForce 570
    Phenom 940 II 3.0GHz
    4GB DDR2
    Geforce 8800GT
    Audigy

    To Do List:

    Fix the car!

    I agree with AMD-Inside,

    There is a guide in HERE, they also recommend PCI Lactancy to 64.

    Weird, you would think that lower would be better. I just set it to 64. Seemed like my boot time decreased, but its probably just my mind playing tricks...

    Doing 128 just fine now.

    170 isn't causing any problems.

    Now, I think that I'm hearing "popping" or "drops"...again though, I think its all in my head.

    Hehe, probably shouldn't listen to MP3s of lower quality to test whether the latency is affecting anything. Its all good at 170. Should I even bother going higher?
