I have been poking around cross referencing different DPC latency issues, and have found a similarity between others with DPC latency problems and our systems (e6400). I am speaking from my system, but it seems our graphics cards are running at 1x as opposed to 16x which they were designed for. This has popped up in other discussions of DPC latency, and the latency problems vanished as soon as the system was operating at 16x...

Any idea how to change this? There doesn't seem to be a way to change this in the dell bios...
