I'm having trouble finding it on viahardware - many of their links from
the main page lead to dead ends and google takes me to many places talking
about other cards. There is a GeForce 2 FAQ which mentions PCI latency
particularly on certain VIA chipset defaulting to 32 and needing to be
either 0 or 64 for stability. I don't recall a PCI latency option in my
BIOS but can look if that's what I should be trying.
Am I to understand it that the patch you mention simply sets this value
regardless of whether or not it's an option in the BIOS?
