"You want to fill them up"???

Why??

You want to put cards in there just so you won't have empty slots?

I've heard it all now. :confused:

On my MSI K7T Pro(6 PCI Slots)
Slot 1 empty
Slot 2 SBLive value 1024
Slot 3 empty
Slot 4 Modem Diamond SupraExpress 56i V PRO
Slot 5 empty
Slot 6 empty.

I guess you could put in ATA-100 PCI Card,TV tuner card,NIC card.

Whitedog says it all . . . an unfilled slot is just one more link to a more stable system. <VBG>

I only need to fill 2 PCI slots . . . a NIC and SCSI. Empty is beautiful!

Internal modems suck. TV is better on my big Sony XBR . . . who needs it on a computer!
