I disabled the Internal Bluetooth via the Bios Setup on the M17x as per your instructions. I haven't had a chance to test it thoroughly. What little I did test produced no lag.
On the Area-51, I don't see anything that says Bluetooth in the device manager. I think I may have disabled it months ago. This is a link to screenshots of before (December 2009) and after (Today) Device Manager lists: http://s980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/lovepuglets/Device%20Manager/ . On the "My PC Information" sheet that shipped with the PC there is mention of Bluetooth several times. I'll copy and paste here:
Installed Devices Drivers Bluetooth L2CAP Interface, 6-11-2009, 6.2.0.9500; Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Module, 6-15-2009, 6.2.0.9000; Bluetooth Remote Control, 6-24-2009, 6.2.0.9451; Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, 6-21-2006, 6.1.7600.16385; Bluetooth Hands-free Audio, 7-1-2009, 6.2.0.9500.
The conditions and behavior of the approximate 5 second lag in gameplay are identical for the laptop and desktop, which is what made me think it is a Bluetooth related error on the desktop. That being said, it seems a little odd that it would be the same cause since I apparently already disabled the Bluetooth on the desktop.
To me, it appears the most recent post on that forum was March 31, 2010, which received no reply. I'm thinking I'll be disappointed over there too. Instead, I'll ask you this: How do I reactivate Bluetooth on my desktop? It is not showing up in the device manager.

M17x - Go into the Bios Setup- Advanced and disable the Internal Bluetooth. Press F10 to Save and Exit.
Area-51 - I do not see that option in the Bios Setup. Can you go into the Device Manager and right click and disable the Bluetooth?

Really? Your response is a disappointment.
