1) What motherboard are you using? (Give model, part number or any other form of positive ID) Intel Premiere PCI II (Plato) 2) Was it easy to get it working with the Perception Video Recorder? Fairly. I used a win icu manager before I installed it to make sure that there were no upcoming conflicts. 3) How many PCI slots does the motherboard have? 3 4) Does the Perception daughterboard overlap one of the PCI slots so that you cannot use it for another card? No, but it does overlap the shared ISA slot. Which is ok, either you use the PCI slot, or you don't and use the ISA slot. Only one of the two can be used, and both can accommodate full length cards. 5) Where did you get your motherboard? swapmeet 6) Do you recommend this board? For PVR usage, yes. There is one minor problem with this board, and it has to do with the fifo buffer getting scrambled whenever it is activated. Using an internal modem bypasses this problem. BIOS updates have been frequent and there is a board specific ICU manager available.
