I'd be worried to put a scsi controller that did writes to important disks
there, but a graphics card?  if a dma transfer gets mangled, then my
screen looks funny and I know that I should shut down and move the card...

I can't see what harm putting a graphics card in there would do.  I
_could_ be wrong though :)
