With many PC's being tower configurations, that put the PCI card in a "component downward" location, you would think some PCI card makers would wise up, and put the components (other than any connector[s] on the bracket, of course) on the other side of the card. Even with no bracket to assure space, this should not be an issue with other PCI cards following behind, except for (very) rare circumstances with the top slot, and especially not with cards that have only surface mount components. ========================= lmcclure1@mindspring.com
