Will VIA LANTENCY affect a usb capture device?

[tim_vic2002]

I bought a Winfast 2000xp expert only to find out that I have a VIA chipset and cant capture in sync.

My question is if I buy the usb version of the card will I be able to capture in sync? because I think that VIA Latency only affects the PCI bus.
So has anyone done this with a VIA chipset?

Thanks in advance.
by the way my motherboard is PM266A

Why do you think it's the VIA Latency causing probs?
My mobo has via chipset and I get no sync probs,
your pc specs seem more than enough to be able to capture in sync - apart from only having 1 40Gb HD that is.

I just assumed after trying everything else I dont know what else it would be.

Could be lots of reasons but my guess is its because your caping to a relatively samll hd that is also running the OS / swap file / anti virus + god knows what else.

I can cap at full d1 mpeg 2 on a via mobo and cap the sound via the on brd sound chip to an old crappy 10GB 5200rpm HD no probs (not used for anything else + gets a format when finished)

Depends on the chipset and the board.

I had to retire my dual processor P3 800 MHz running Apollo Pro 133 on Tyan Tiger because of this latency problem. Was running AIW card with the system and MMC just stop capping randomly under one minute.

The same chipset on CU4V ASUS board and single processor is OK with AIW.

Experiences may vary depending on chipset and boards.
