| It does? How very annoying... I thought it was just the PCI bus that was
| effected. I nthat case, could a similar problem be caused by an AGP card?

Anything that requires interrupts on a "PC compatible" architecture will
experience this.  The IRQtune FAQ at <URL:http://www.best.com/~cae/irqtune/>
describes exactly what is happening.  The short version is that sound and
serial devices are given *very* low priority, when they should be given
very high priority because they are real-time devices.  Depending on the OS 
you are using and the underlying hardware, you might be able to adjust the
priority of real-time devices... or not.
