Just tweaking the z800 bios and found:
Z800 Optional system BIOS change:
1. Set Intel Turbo Boost Technology**– Disable**
Only required if connecting USB audio I/O devices. This setting will eliminate any audio
“motor-boating” or audio “popping” which may be experienced with USB audio I/O devices.

To me that means that USB Audio Devices are responsible for Motor Boating or Audio Popping ? So WHAT PCIe or firewire are guaranteed not to ! Interesting as to why they would make such a statement ! Anyone care to comment
Maybee i am understanding it incorrectly !
