Please excuse my ignorance. But I am confused. In the "BX Motherboard Roundup" I found this statement regarding the AX6BC Pro Gold...
..."The board shares IRQs just like every other board, the first and second PCI slots are shared with the AGP slot. The fourth and fifth PCI slots share an IRQ with the on-board USB controller, and finally, the third PCI slot is the ideal one to install your PCI peripherals in since it does not share an IRQ with any other slots."
Does this mean that all but the "third PCI slot" are virtually useless? Or is my ignorance in not understanding the meaning of "PCI peripherals"?
Thanks,
