I've got an Audigy 2 ZS, Geforce 4 Ti4600, and a Geforce 4MX PCI. The 4600 has only VGA out and DVI-D and I have no DVI-D converter, so I have to use the PCI card for the secondary monitor. I've got an Abit AV8, and whenever I play anything on the secondary monitor, like a video, or move winamp or iTunes to the other monitor, I hear clicking sounds and then my computer BSOD's. I read in Sandra that the PCI latency is high and there is no option in the bios to change this which is making me angry because I have to use the two shitty cards for another few weeks.

The cards are in the system like this

============== TI4600

============== Empty PCI

============== Empty PCI

============== Geforce 4MX PCI

============== Empty PCI

============== Audigy 2 ZS

What can I do? I'm sure my PSU is adequte and so is cooling, I've got a Lian Li PCV1000 and a Fortron 530 with perfectly stable rails. I didn't have this problem before with my 6800, but I had to temporarily downgrade to purchase my CRTs. I'm sure it's the PCI latency thing, but how the heck do I change it?
 
I would use this configuration:

============== TI4600

============== Empty PCI

============== Audigy 2 ZS *

============== Geforce 4MX PCI *

============== Empty PCI *

============== Empty PCI

* these 3 slots may be used in different order.

Good Luck :D
