Someone mailed me off list and suggested the below: Tuning these [PCI latencies] should allow you to give your TDM cards long burst lengths, and make your IDE devices very premptable...
A decent article which has info in PCI latency (and IRQ, etc) is at: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-hw2.html I tried it out, and though it did seem to help the problem, it was not a 100% fix. I ended up having to go a Athlon 1800 (don't have the mainboard model on hand right now) to solve the problem 100%. I also discovered my SPA-2000's silence suppression was causing a good chunk of choppiness (much more so then any SS should), so I disabled that too. The "cutting out" is completely gone now. Good luck.
