on here it says Download & use PCIlatency (freeware app) to change all existing values to 32 except for video, which should be set to 64 (pci latency settings for AGP are typically set unusually high which can cause audio problems/glitchs in some systems)- (NOTE: this will severely reduce performance in graphics-related applications such as games and visualisation-generators).

ok on my video sound and game, I have device description "RME HAMMERFALL" it currently says 255, what shall i set the new latency to or shall I leave that? everything else is set to a new latency of 032, thanks

Talk to RME. Chances are they did that for a reason, so personally I'd leave it where it was, given that that device is (presumably) the main purpose of your rig?

oh I have another one for Windows optimizing.

Keep your PC vs Mac marketing horsecrap out of here please. If I want a pretty but expensive box with a nice liquid finish I'll go buy an aquarium. I hear they also come in pink.

Buy a Mac!

Same goes for you, buddy.

Hey people! There's a new Moozek article that's meant to compile all the tips for optimization of Windows XP for audio:

Definitive Guide to Windows XP Tweaking for Audio | Moozek

include that in the list! :)

I see nobody here is talking about Linux wich is a far more advanced platform for audio than windows xp !!

Don't tell that to us. Tell that to who makes DAWs. Tell that to Digidesign, for example. If Linux is superior, they should make a Pro Tools linux port.
