I played around a bit more today and noticed that the ping/packet-loss
rate
changes with the 2nd (VGA port) monitor refresh rate. For a few minutes I
can run the DVI monitor at 75Hz if I lower the VGA monitor to 72 or
70Hz -
but the ping time increases exponentially after a couple minutes and then
the connection dies until I change the refresh rate (doesn't matter what
I
change it to, it works for a few minutes regardless of the rate). This
doesn't seem like RFI to me, more like a driver problem or some other
internal conflict. Anyone beg to differ? I'm gonna try moving the linksys
pci card to a different slot and see if that changes anything.

If it's not RFI then make sure the two cards are not sharing an IRQ
(interrupt). Some PCs have a PCI buss that shares interrupts between
certain slots. This can be a real pain in the ass to debug if you've got
anything more than just one or two cards.


Tried all pci slots and no luck (linksys is the only pci card and radeon is
agp). Gonna try another linksys card at some point.

Another thing i noticed is that when the CPU is occupied (when loading a
program like outlook) ping times jump up over 1 sec. Is this normal for a
modern-day PC (2.8ghz intel) or is this a sign I have some sort of bus
issue?
