Default video card driver set latency too high

I have a program called Sandra and I have run the program and it said that a
video card set the latency too hi. It said go into the bios
setup\settings\pci & agp Devices and reduce latency to 64 or 32. Well the
problem is my bios doesn't have a place to reduce layency. Is there a place
in the registry that would have the latency setting since my bios doesn't?

This is a bios/hardware setting and not a function of the operating
system. If your bios doesn't allow this setting to be changed then my
advice would be to forget about it and continue to use your PC in the same
way that you have always done before installing SiSoft Sandra.

Well that would be great but the only reason I ran the program called Sandra
was because I had a problem just a small one. My sound as I boot up stops
then starts a couple of times. Then every now and then as I run my computer
and am moving the mouse around the screen it stops then starts just enough
for me to notice then after a sec or so everything is back to normal. It
didn't do that until I installed a camera and some video software. It made
since to me that some where a program has set the Latency too high causing
the problem. Sure is something hogging the bandwidth but not all the time.

Ron.

You're starting to lose me now. g You have a sound problem, ran Sandra
and post about video latency. I don't quite see how my advice to ignore
the Sandra report about AGP latency is going to have an adverse affect on
your audio problems.

Incidentally I suspect you may have been looking for the wrong thing in
the bios or that Sandra was giving misleading information. What I think
Sandra might be trying to tell you is to reduce the AGP aperture to 64 or
32MB, that is the amount of system RAM being shared with your graphics
adapter. http://www.tweak3d.net/articles/aperture-size/

Turning to your problem as now explained (thank you). If you uninstall
the camera and video software does the problem go away? If so then
reinstall that software, component by component if possible, and see if
the problem returns and which of the new applications is causing the
problem. One thing you might want to try is to reduce video acceleration
a notch. You will find this setting at Control Panel | Display | Settings
| Advanced | Performance.

Out of curiosity which Sandra module is it that makes the recommendation
about AGP latency? I've got a box here with Sandra installed and would
like to check what you are seeing in case I can find something to help.

Best of luck and please post back with any further information you might
have or the results of trying the above suggestions.
