Asus P5A-B Motherboard Question

Post by Prime »

Hello, I have a question about PCI slot 1 beside the Accelerated Graphics Port. Do these two slots share the same resources on an AladdinV Motherboard? I want to add an ATA 133 IDE controller in PCI slot 1 beside my ATI Rage Pro 128 graphics card, and hope that no conflicts occur.
Thanks in advance.

You may get conflicts; but they can be resolved. It is possible to use all 3 PCI slots and the AGP slot silmultaneously. I did it on my old Superpuppy 3, and also on my Superpuppy 2. I did have a memory allocation conflict on Superpuppy 3 using an ATI 7500 aiw card; but like I said it can be resolved.
