Excuse my ignorance but how can I tweak the latency timer for pci cards?
Btw I got some problems with my  nvidia graphics card. When I compile new a 
kernel with low latency and preempt patches(actually with the low latency 
patch only is ok ) Applying the preemt patch and loading the nv or nvidia 
drivers gives me a nice kernel oops.

I dont think I am gonna buy anymore nvidia products from now on, they taint my 
nice GPL kernel 
later,
