I am running a good system, check the signature below. And if I stick with the WDM drivers I fine, but if i install Live! drivers 3.0 alone or with Liveware its gives a crawl when you encode MP3 or play Deus Ex, it uses tracker music, pretty similar to playing mp3 in cpu use refers.
But this happens only when you use some accerated sound functions.
And when unistalling the drivers too.
Please dont tell me get a Voodoo5 5500 i dont have the money for that extra bucks.
I just have spent U$1356.
The case keyboard and mouse are also new but that was during an emergency replacement way before this update to the machine. So i will not include them. (Ok U$1534).
Yes they share all the same IRQ 9, the "Ugly" NIC Realtek, the "bad" MP3+ Live!, the "Good" ASUS 6800.
I use the 3.79 (ASUS), 5.33 (ASUS), or the 6.18 detonator drivers. The only that i have not tryed is the 3.79.
Help, help, help, desperate man here, well not so much it works like a speedy bullet.
But it will be really apreciated. Thank you very much for reading so far.
