I suppose that with closed source drivers, the low

very well not be effective. Who knows what kind of long codepaths are
present (maybe even stuff to give better video benchmarks, while
screwing overall performance?). Did anybody investigate this?
I use the Planet CCRMA low-latency kernel for my RH9 box, and I've had
that GForce2 card since I've had this machine. I never had a problem
with them - xruns are very rare on this box. The modules always compiled
easily with the installer script as long as I had the Planet's kernel
source RPM installed.
While I'd prefer open source fort the kernel, I am at least grateful
that they're committed to continued and current support for Linux.
I just read on /. that they've released drivers for the 2.6 kernel.
