Some people find Slot 1 works well.... and thats fine because I doubt youll be transfering full speed during a game (Since slot 1 shares with AGP). I prefer slot 4, it shares with USB and it works fine for me. Slot 2 caused me HD corruption because if your transfering full speed to a HD on the promise controller... then your putting DOUBLE the bandwith of the NIC on one IRQ... both the bandwith for the NIC and then the bandwith to write to your HD.

Thanks...when I had it in slot 1 the nic seems to perform better but that maybe a bias..
