tried that .... just so everyone knows the ASUS p2l97 is an AGP motherboard with 5 PCI 2 isa 1 APG (1PCI and isa are shared). Slot 1 shares its IRQ with the AGP Slot. Slot 4 and 5 share an IRQ and Asus recommends that a PCI video go into slot 5 ( the shared isa slot). I know know that the AGP slot is stealing PCI Bus one (thanks Robert ), and I've also tried flashing the board to the latest bios rev (1005 from 1002) still now luck.... I've been trying to hunt down the maximum number of bridges that can be in one machine ..... one of the intel notes say for but I don't remember for which bridge chip I saw that on.
