I was told by my computer manufacture that the PCI slot arrangement didn't matter. That all the "New" motherboards don't care about the slot one rule. I have a GA 7DX.
I sent my first system back because the 64mb GeForce3 failed.
I thought because the 3com 3C905CX 10/100 card was in the first PCI slot under the AGP, was blocking the fan and, perhaps cooked the video card? The company took the system back and sent out the same configuration this time with another USrobotics modem under the 10/100. I called VisionTek, maker of the GeForce3 card, and they said it didn't like to share the 1st PCI slot. The computer Manufacture said if I have any problems I could change the cards around with their help. ( So what am I paying them for?) Anyhow what is the rule on this, I also heard that modems put out a lot of heat. I am sure there couldn't be more than 1/4 and I think less between the Video and first PCI card 10/100. Thank you for your help
