That's not normal! When you running DPC checker alone it should be at least beneath max. 60 us. What's the cause of the spike is, is difficult to say. If disabling any device( incl USB-devices) not helps it could be a systembackup thing or a device polling or etc......
In my systems the culpit were: bad graphic driver(ATI) and a 3com LAN ethernetcard.

You should look in the soundonsound forum (PC Music) there's a long thread about this with different mobo's, systems, solutions...
