Default Latency Problems when using direct monitoring

Hi,
I'm using a Edirol UA-25 Audio MIDI USB Interface, for recording vocals and when I use the direct monitoring I get a delay double effect without having any FX even turned on.

The Computer I use is Win XP Hm, 1.8 GHZ, 1024MB Ram 1600MHZ system bus

Right now I have device setting in Reaper set at

Audio System : Direct Sound

The Input and Output are set for the Edirol UA-25 Interface

Sample format: 24 bit

Samplerate: 44100hz

Buffer 8 X 1040 samples

Latency: 188ms

After reading through the forum 188ms latency is very high and I also understand by changing the buffer and samples rate the latency rate changes which will help with direct monitor problem.

What are good buffer and sample setting for recording vocals so I can have the smallest latency possible with causing clicks or any recording problems?

Also will changing the Sample format to 16 bit help?

Thanks in advance for any help or other tips on this subject.

Basil
