What latency are you achieving with your Gina? Do you have a
particular reason for chasing latency to the lowest possible figure?
PCI cards are obsolete in so much as computer motherboards are now
moving toward PCIe slots. Currently you can still get both, but PCI
will soon go the way of ISA. But a card such as your Gina is quite
mature technology and there's no point in throwing it out until you
move to a coputer that it won't fit into.
