try to disable your sound card and observe you in game ping
well mine, my ingame ping after i disable my sound card is from 80ms to 40 ms, actually my ping return to original one from XP os. But sad to say, no sound ingame T_T
sorry for my grammar
I have heard of problems with the Homegroup thing that was added. you might be able to disable the homegroup (if your not networking with it) and see if that changes anything. (I have not had this problem so it is just an un-educated guess)
I understand that this thread is old, But for those of you that still have these issues there is a few things you should try...
1. Go to your NIC properties and turn off power management options.
2. Down load DPC Latency Checker and Latancymon.(These will help you find the processes/drivers that might be slowing down your CPU due to incompatibility)
3. Check for spyware with programs like Spybot search and destroy.
4. Also check your router/modem settings.
If any of these things dont work..... Then i guess you have a bigger issue then most people can explain.
