Hi Eric, I had the same devastating experience with an 1 GHz board. After some bothersome searching for the cause of extremely large latency values (above 70000) I decided to get an old ASUS P3B-F board with a Pentium III, 350 MHz processor from the attic. With the same setup, same hard diks etc. I have now 9000 at maximum of all values and threads, averaging at ca. 7000. Then I pushed it up to 500 MHz without change in results. I think Intel was compromizing when trying to boost GHz performance on the cost of real time behaviour which the average user doesn't notice while playing games.
I don't see any problem with using an elderly computer as long as real time performance is good.
