True, very true. Might be an idea actually since I could sell an MSI KT3 Ultra, D-Link 530TX 10/100 NIC, Belkin USB2.0 ports and a RAIDcard. Cheers mate, I'll definately think about doing that Ooh, and new smiley
My APG slot is in use, but rest of mine are free, kinda, well, they have a RAD infront of em atm, so only thin cards to fit in (LAN, 2 USB) -cLoWn
There's now an interest check thread in the UK trade forums if you want to help me out getting a new mobo
Hehe ... I have the A7N8X Deluxe ... everything onboard ... and an Extigy - so I don't need any PCI slots at all ... Should we start a petition ? Make mobos with more PCI slots !!! Who's with me ? Cheers [DE]FreD_S
Slot 1 - Nothing Slot 2 - Sound Card (was originally in slot 4, must've swapped it round with my network card at some time I can't remember ) Slot 3 - S-ATA RAID card Slot 4 - NIC Slot 5 - Nothing I have to keep slot 1 free cos it would share an IRQ with my video card, and if I had a board with S-ATA, onboard LAN, I'd be sorted, 'twould be empty slots aplenty , but I have more than enough room as it is really...
Slot 1: Empty (but covered by gfx card ramsink) Slot 2: Empty but covered by gfx card ramsink) Slot3: 3com Etherlink 10/100 Busmaster Network Card Slot4: Empty Slot5: C-Media C3DX Sound Card Slot6: Empty but shared with CNR (which will never be used) Not too many cards in there to be honest, but I lose two PCI because of my homemade ramsinks
You got any pics of those ? Must be a nice view ey ? Loseing two PCI slots .... that's crazy Cheers [DE]FreD_S
You like? I have: AGP: GeForce 4600 PCI1: empty (because it shares an IRQ with AGP) PCI2: DgiFire 7.1 PCI3: ATI TV Wonder PCI4: empty PCI5: D-Link Wi-Fi card (soon to be removed, though). I have a Soyo P4X400 Ultra, with onboard LAN, RAID, and sound as well. The sound causes system instability, though, so I purchaced the DigiFire, and just use the onboard for the inputs The Wi-Fi card has been replaced by an access point (faster, better reception), and is on it's way out (more than likely be put into a MP3 rig of some sort).
used to have all 5 pci slots used pci1: matrox 4mb pci2: soundblaster live pci3: 4 ports usb card pci4: 2 ports usb card pci5: 3com 10/100 ethernet card now since I have my a7n8x, I got rid of my soundblaster and updated my old computer with it. And since I move my bro's tablet to his pc... I don't need the 2 ports usb card so that leave me with 2 pci empty
I have a cheapo mATX board Slot 1 (AGP) Geforce 3 Slot 2 Empty Slot 3 Empty Slot 4 Soon to be a ATI AIW PCI card for monitor #2
Who would've thought that me having no free PCI slots would create such a popular thread as to possibly get onto 3 pages?
