Hi Kip,

I'm no techie but what Chris says is probably accurate. One of those
PCI slots will share so much with other devices it will be rendered useless
for an EDS card. Spend 1/4 the money on the Mobo and spend a few
bucks on a used 13 slot Magma or Virtua Like TC suggested. This will
open up all kinds of other PCI possibilities.

I have 4 EDS, UAD1 and a Creamware card in my older 13 slot Magma.
This leaves two more PCIe slots and one more PCI slot available in
the PC. Magmas are short money these days. Just make sure it comes with
the 'Host card' and the right connecting cable for the model that it is.

I avoided doing this for a long time too. It makes many things easier once
it's in your system. The price couldn't be better. If you go for the newer
PCIe Magma then the price is up there. It would be killer in that instance
though.

Good luck,
Tom
