    It seems that I get random spurts of extreme lag and disconnecting when on ventrilo on my m11x r2. Everything else works fine internet-wise and my other PC's don't have any problems with ventrilo and lag on the router(s) I have set up. Anyone have any idea why this could be happening on just my m11x?

    Google it, took me 4 seconds to find out that it's surround sound voice communication software. :)

    OP: how is your internet connection? go to http://www.pingtest.net and see if you have a latency issue.

    Once I accidently installed the 32bit edition... Perhaps you did the same?

    I installed Ventrilo last night for the first time on my m11x r2. I was running Terraria through steam at the time aswell and my computer would freeze and I would have to reboot. Did it twice and I expect it was Ventrilo causing this issue as I have had no issue playing the game by itself.
