    Hi

    I was just trying to check the if the latency had improved after i flashed to the X36 Bios but it came up with an error:

    InstallDrv: DeleteFile failed with error 0x00000020

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Which OS are you using? I know that there has been some compatibility problems with 64-bit versions of Vista.

    just ran the latency checker (standalone, v1.1) on Win7 x64, and latencies were all between 260 and 280 whatever-the-unit-is.
