Runamuck: Paul seems to be referring to motherboard drivers. There were some motherboard manufacturers with poor drivers 10-15 years ago. These caused the infamous DPC latency spikes under Windows.
These days, even the cheapest motherboards use a small subset of common designs, so DPC Latency is not the concern in 2019 as it once was. If you use your 10 year old bargain bin PC you might need to be concerned, but anything in the last 5 years - regardless how cheap - should be fine.
