Hi,
I was very interested in the Tomshardware review of the K7N420 Pro. In the end I decided to try one of the boards out. Must say I like it but I found something very odd about the Nvidia digital sound drivers in Win 2K. When I checked out the system usage after installing the board I noticed that there were many more interrupts/Sec than I expected and that 5-7% of the CPU was ALWAYS in use. After careful experiment I found that it was the Nvidia Digital audio driver. This driver seems to be generating about 140 interrupts/Sec and using 5% CPU even when not in use. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know why this may be. I really don't want to lose this amount of perfomance on a function that I am not using.
