    ohhh there are people here.

    not that im a professional or have studied in any way... but relative to most of the other forum members, i know a lot about DAW

    what type of latency is it youre talking about?
    DPC latency is caused by hardware drivers and internal system malfunctions basically. it can be unavoidable, regardless of your sound card or operating system, or it can be as simple as disabling your network adapter, you should try that. other hardware and cards can be the culprit as well. try disabling everything unnecessary

    as i said, that also might not help at all.
    if you are talking about standard DAW software latency (usually 30ms and adjustable with ableton live, etc) its a similar case - could be software, could be hardware.

    with WINDOWS, all forms and types, youre going to have trouble pushing it under 25ms even at 96khz (btw, higher sample rate helps a lot, set it to 96khz). you need an ASIO which you might have, i dont really understand these things. you can find the software for an ASIO driver for you integrated card MAYBE, but they usually ship with external sound cards. i dont know much about this, and its hard info to find on forums - audio engineers are really stuck up, in my experience.

    you can solve all your latency problems if you want with an external USB sound card. they support better quality, more I/O and lower latency (all of which varies from card to card) if you need more channels, you should look into a firewire ieee1394 card, as it supports more bandwidth.
    i have a presonus inspire 1394, its great. i can get under 2.5ms and it was $50 used.

    of course, as you can imagine operating systems are fully capable on the hardware end of producing a few channels of realtime medium quality audio. its just that windows in particular was not at all written for it. its hard to get past this in windows even with an ASIO

    with linux... you can download for free a realtime optimized kernel for audio editing, motion capture stuff like that. its in a release called ubuntu studio, and i think the realtime kernel is fully implemented, coming standard with 9.10 or 10.04.

    you can also connect software and midi I/O freely with the linux sound server. i have used it running multiple programs and its really serious... like learning a whole new DAW software but more than that.

    so uh... go crazy with what you will with that info. hope it helps.
    what work do you do with low latency daw?
