It *can* be a painless process. It doesn't have to. There's multiple things that can go wrong, including but not limited to: - Non-ACPI systems with IRQ allocation conflicts - Systems with stringent PCI latency requirements, like audio-centric systems with multiple sound cards (in which case your average $10 NIC is *not* a good idea) - Systems with a CNR instead of a free PCI slot - Systems with local non-T-base based networks - Systems that already are T-base connected, and where the existing connection Must Not Be Screwed Up. - Systems which only does bus mastering on certain slots - Systems where certain slots have priority - PCI 2.2 cards on a PCI 1.x system or vice versa Regards, -- *Art
