Please be sure, not to use more than 4 cards in the same computer. Opposite to the P4 chipsets, the athlon chipsets do handle a maximum amount of 4 IRQ´s - that means you reached the maximum by using 4 cards, unless the drivers are so well programmed that they alllow 200 % irq sharing, which is almost not the case.

Any pci card I think. You can 'create' more IRQ's by disabling USB, serial and paralel ports,... anyhting you don't use, turn it of
An S/TDM cable, which is used to interconnect different CW cards, has only 3 connections. You can install maximum 3 CW cards in one computer.

No...not quite right - the 4 irq´s are fix...so unless the device drivers of your cards do not allow 200 % irqsharing, disabling USB etc. won´t do the job.
