I can understand why you shouldn't share an IRQ, but it seems to be getting increasingly difficult to find PCI slots like that these days. On my latest PC I had to disable most of the USB controllers to free up a slot. That said, it's going to be difficult enough finding mobos that have actually got a PCI slot soon

you can still get ISA slots if you look, so it will be a while yet.

and theres even i7 boards with 3 PCI slots, (and tons of other crap you have to disable)

yeah, pci slots are no problem and the fact that you'll likely have to disable a few things won't hurt, nor is it much trouble.
