Help moutherboard ?

Hello,
I just upgraded my motherboard from an ASUS to a PA-2007. My problem is
that the bios settings of this new board don't have any adjustment for
the PCI latencie. Before with the PCI lt kicked up to 75 I was getting
around 98.6 scores, but with this boards default setting(what ever it
may be) I'm only getting 41.8 scores. I heard of Tweakbios but when I
looked at their page the screen shot didn't show the PCI latence
setting. Both my old BIOS and the new one are Award BIOS but this new
one has a completly different set up. Anyone have any ideas as to how I
might be able to get this adjusted?
Thanks for any info.

If you are looking at the example on the front page at:
http://www.miro.pair.com/tweakbios/index.html you will not see this
setting. It will/should show up though when you run "tweakbios" and
select the video adapter settings part from the first menu. Make sure
PCI Streaming is enabled under the 1st (Main) bios settings screen,
then go to the Video Adapter and try bumping up the latency to atleast
80 or so. You should get your score back up to atleast 90+ now.
