Wasn't there a perenial problem like that a few years ago involving putting
SoundBlaster cards right below the AGP slot? I seem to recall having a
problem that was solved by moving the soundcard down one and putting
something that didn't require a dedicated IRQ# in the top slot.
Seems like I used to use a lot more slots back then, I guess on-board LAN
and sound has freed up a few of them. Don't need a SCSI card for my scanner
anymore either. AAMOF, now that I think about it, USB has lightened the load
on expansion cards in other areas too. If I didn't have a Capture/Tuner card
I wouldn't have any PCI stuff.
