P3B-F question...

[bluefmc]

I seem to remember reading that the BX chipset can only support 5 busmastering pci slots. However the 6 pci slot version of the Asus P3B-F claims that all 6 of the pci slots are busmasters. Could someone please clear this up for me? Asus's list of download sites for the P3B-F manual in pdf format can be found at http://cgi.asus.com.tw/cgi-bin/dl.asp?filename=mb/slot1/440bx/p3b-f/p3bf-104.pdf Thanks for the help.

The P3B-F uses an ITE PCI to PCI bridge chip to support 6 PCI busmasters.
