Doug,
I think you are going to need more PCI slots. The system I just purchased has 5
PCI slots, and with the PVR and daughter card, I have no more to use. The PVR
itself uses one, while the daughter card (attached to the PVR) covers another
completely. It is also so close to the third, though not actually covering it,
I would fear trying to use it due to the pressure it would put on the card.
If my all Pentium MB's are created equal, you are also going to have to do
something to allow the PVR card to fit over the CPU fan. Cameron had to remove
mine and install a bigger 4" fan over the boards. I also have a dual system, so
there's a good chance you will have the same problem. Cameron would be a good
person to talk to about this as he's done these systems numerous times.
