IP35PRO motherboard with gigabyte network has lag

Hi,

I brought a new PC from overclockers, with the above motherboard. On my Apple Mac World of Warcraft plays fine with about 50-70MS latency.

Now on my new PC, connected directly to the router, with the same ports forwarded etc, I get around 180MS - 260MS lag.

Any ideas what is causing this? I have all the drivers updated, but cannot see why I have such a difference in latency between the two machines...

Thanks.

Not sure if this would be why exactly but the Ethernet on the IP35 is sat on the PCI bus. Suspect that it isn't on a MAC. Do you have anyother cards on the PCI bus at all.

Umm I dont think so, Only other card I have is the 8800GT in the PCIe port. I will double check when I get home however.

Try pinging the server from a command prompt/terminal and see if you get the same variation.
