PCI Slot Advice.

[Sidetracker]

I'm using an ABIT KT7A-RAID and would like some advice on what devices to put into which PCI slots. Are any of the slots better suited to a sound card or a NIC, etc. or will it not make a difference?. I know slot 5 is tied in with the RAID controller.

The KT7 is a picky board when it comes to IRQ sharing - at least so I found. I've got my NIC in slot 6 and my sblive in slot 4. Iknow toms hardware has a good article on KT7 and pci slot recommendations. Dont have the link, but you can get to it from the abit site also.
