In my case, it's no more than approx. 15us. Quite the discrepancy

 
Then you must have C-States and Turbo disabled. The numbers I gave were with Turbo active. I stated before you will get similar DPC activity with the current platforms with C-States and turbo off.

We normally just use the standard IME install for the specific model. We only change it to driver only if we run into a problem. Lately I have not seen issues with the installed IME. However the manufacturers dont include information on what is implemented with the install so you never know. The safest method is just manually update and select the driver.

Thanks Eric, much appreciated.

That's how I'm approaching it just now, I download the bundle unzip it and just point the update driver procedure to the location of the unzipped files.

I'd never had issues with it but wasn't sure if I was denying myself some benefit by not installing the entire package.

Of course, and then some..., and then some more. I don't even have my DVD drive on at all times, disabled in computer management along with "cdrom.sys" which is disabled with the help of SysInternals "Autoruns". And I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

again unless you have the database we do which i know you dont, subject closed.. feel free to debate with yourself no one trust me no one will be listening.

pretty sure i can guess as to who people will listen to.

Again, you're missing the point Scott. HPET off is not a tweak and certainly not for everyone, it's a workaround at best (and I don't discourage its use, especially for laptop users for example). But for those who are really serious about a non-oc'ed, non-green, non-internet'ed no nonsense dedicated DAW for audio only, HPET on is my recommendation. And I certainly don't have any problems with people listening to whoever they want to listen to.

Core parking: please with this crap.. Sonar was and is the only software this ever effected (well ok Logic but that totally out of topic in this forum)

 it was extremely user dependant and rarely did it ever fix anything for the majority of our clients or in our testing. that was 2 yrs ago not now.. its long done and gone and over.

That probably summarizes the OP's question as well as the rest of the 4 pages does.

But as I've mentioned before, this is not something you can do..., simply because of the nature of your multi-purpose machine and the insane amount of overhead created by the greenness of it. To each his own.

Not to mention upwards of an extra .4Ghz on CPU speed without an O/C...

Nothing green about this machine except when it's not in use, not to mention the fact that I can collaborate on it without having to re-configure the thing from it's user crippled state in order to do so.

That probably wouldn't concern you though as usually you'd need freinds or colleagues in order to partake in a collaboration...

I never reach the point where I have to disable the network nor CD rom for that matter, if I did I probably will be due to upgrade.

I got the idea ages ago, I think several others have by now too...

So you are saying that Scott and Eric don't produce hardware for the serious dedicated DAW user?  And you are the serious one?

I'm not offering any recommendation but if you want to leverage the best low latency performance out of your machine and have it running at it's full potential, you'll likely find you are much better with it off.

Jon,
at this point youre feeding the troll..
while i normally like a good debate and dont usually mind Als err antics..
when one refutes an obscene amount of evidence to the contrary and yet still sticks to his errored thinking..
its time to dust off your shoes and move on.. <--- wonders if anyone will catch that and no its not from a movie
