[QUOTE="jonathantwynham, post: 1165743, member: 138813"] My next step will be to try disabling things and see what effect it has. I am also wondering if forcing the NIC into 10 or 100mbit might prevent it from doing this.. it also has flow control disabled and again im wondering if that might make a difference. The NIC im going to fit in is a full server class card (intel pro/1000 pt) which according to the literature that came with it has 'interupt moderation' which apparently reduces cpu usage and can spread its usage across multiple cpus. I cant downgrade the current broadcom drivers as they dont seem to have any older ones on their website and im wary of drivers off 3rd party websites.. I have however just noticed on the dell website there are a set of specific drivers just for windows 7 64bit.. will give them a go and see what it does. I have just installed latencymon and according to it the highest user of the DPC interupt is the NDIS driver followed by my BGBTCap driver (which I guess is for the tuners) - im presuming I should see that fairly high on the list as it is doing stuff when tuning? I wont bother trying to upgrade to Windows 10 then either! Dont get me wrong, im not blaming MePo for this issue.. im squarely blaming it on windows 7 - there seem to be a lot of people who have latency issues with windows 7 and the vast majority seem to be running 64bit!
