You'll have to shut off Hyperthreading, but I believe 2.2 spec PCI has been
tried and works.
The IRQ sharing will matter because if USB, AGP, LAN, LPT, etc.. share with
a slot(s) there can be problems. Say for instance that the video is hard
coded to the same IRQ that 3 slot are on - that would be bad. I'd also be
concerned of power supply throughput, EDS cards love lots of power. The
video situation concerns me.. onboard sucks, and I see no PCI-e or AGP to
expand it, although there is some kind of PCI Ex1 slot listed?
But the mobo looks veeeddddddy interesting, Mr Bond.
