On Biostar mobos, the PCI Latency tool can be used to adjust timers.

Not so for Gigabyte - I suspect this is a feature of Intel's chipset. However, default latency timer can be changed in BIOS:

1. Enter BIOS
   
2. From main menu, Press Ctrl+F1 to access advanced options
   
3. Select PnP/PCI Configurations
   
4. Change default timer setting of 32 to 128

There's a small improvement when using cMP².

  • For Gigabyte mobo, do the BIOS change. - cics 06:33:57 08/07/08 (0)

    • No, I mean - what happens if you use PCI Latency tool on Gigabyte mobo? - carcass93 13:09:40 08/06/08 (3)

        • I tried PCI Latency tool at work on IBM with 845 chipset - works fine, so may be it's chipset-specific. - carcass93 08:27:12 08/07/08 (1)
          • "DisableProgPCILatency" doesn't exist in Registry - I think its from older versions of the tool. - cics 02:34:51 08/09/08 (0)
