Usually some PCI slots have different capabilities (besides 32 bit vs 64 bit) as some will allow busmastering as one example. Check the card specs against your motherboard specs for the slots. Also some PCI cards may need irq assignment, some motherboards let you set these, while others make these assignment automatically through some implementation of plug-and-play. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
