I assume that you are using a PnP BIOS, and as such, each PCI slot has an
IRQ assigned.  I double checked my setup when I added the second card, but
the 3rd went in without a problem.

If you're not sure which is which, you could always do a trial and error
thing with the cables :)

(I still need 1 more PCI and 2 more ISA ethernet cards to fill my box, I
wonder how stable things are going to be at that point :)
