In further pursuing my multimedia CPU spike and DAW timing issue I came across info about conflicts causing these phenomena due to the combination of Intel 925X chipset, certain higher quality PCIe video cards, SATA controller and firewire devices. My Dell dimension 8400 is suffering this anomoly. I have the 925x chipset, ATI X600 Pro PCIe video card and Firewire Video and audio I/O.
I have several emails out to the manufacturers involved but was wondering if anyone here dealing with multimedia authoring has encountered such problems?
Here is my basic config:
Dell Dimension 8400 P4 (3.0 ghz, 1 gig DDR2 ram, (2) 160 SATA hds, ATI X600 Pro PCIe video card w/256MB Ram, Canopus ADVC300 1394 video converter, M-Audio Firewire 410 1394 audio I/O.
This a link to the sites that gave some insight:
