Advice on component selection.

Ah cool now i know how to read that thing at least.

And yeah, then i have alot of crap i need to strip out of this installation .=)
Im still experimenting with GUI's and modifying the installation.

First thing to do to improve latency is turn off _all_ power management/ and speed switching options in the BIOS
Then if your CPU supports hyperthreading, turn it off also

Ah well dont know if that test suit exists on my build.. i used Wheezy in the bottom, installed a realtime kernen from repository then compiled from source.. so for some reason i got 2.8.x something, maybe could be an issue i guess?

Power management is always off - i deactivate all that crap in every puter i own on bios level.. =)
But, why should i turn off hyperthreading, guessing that would help out with calculations - not that a Core i5 processor support hyperthreading, but have 4 cores at least.

I shall investigate. =)

Not sure why but hyperthreading is a known latency poison, its _always_ better when off

I guess only 2 core I5s have hyperthreading

I guess only 2 core I5s have hyperthreading

Ah right, you are talking about the mobile processors like Core i5m - those that use hyperthreading to emulate 4 cores, and are marketed as 4 cores.

So been axing left and right through the hardware.. So this is while the puter is running glxgears, a cpu loader and doing bitcoing mining (u said put it under load in the instructions.txt)

This better?

In my experience running flash videos on youtube is about the worst RT torture test
