    How many PCI slots have you used up?

    Finally decided to purchase a USB 2.0 card today and thus I used up my last (6th) PCI slot, which made me curious as to how many PCI slots everyone else has used up, and also what cards you've got in them... Here are mine:

    SoundBlaster Audigy2
    NIC
    Modem
    SCSI card (for the scanner)
    Dazzle Digital Video Creater II PCI card
    USB 2.0 card

    If you've got more than 1 PC in the house, just list your primary workstation.

    I only have three in this HP of mine.

    I have my Radeon 7000, my 56k modem (not used anymore), and my Maxtor USB 2.0 card.

    I only am using two at the moment in 2 of my systems, and only 1 in my other system. Network cards in all 3, sound cards (TB Santa Cruz and Montego II) in the two systems. Still may reinstall the Hercules Muse 5.1 sound card in the system running onboard sound at the moment. Have to wait and see.

    Only using three....
    SB Audigy 2
    SB Audigy 2 Game port
    Nic

    I just picked up the audigy 2 today. Awesome card so far!!!!
    With my $70 christmas gift cards from best buy and the $30 rebate. It only costed me $40 out of pocket and it included two full version games! SOF2 and Hitman 2. I think i got my money's worth

    The $30 rebate on the audigy 2 lasts until 12/28/02.

    If this card is on your wish list you got 1 day left!
    shoot first and ask questions later

    2 outta 3. And the third will be filled soon (within 2 weeks) with my SCSI card. In the meantime I have my Creative Ensoniq Audio and my 3Com 3C905B-TX. Hoping for a PowerColor Radeon 9000 PCI someday, and a Turtle Beach 5.1 Santa Cruz, so then I'll have to switch to a USB nic (WHAT????).
