The B&W has a single 66MHz 32bit PCI slot, which is "dedicated" to the video 
card. It's not dedicated. You can use one of the other 33MHz 64bit slots for a 
video card, and put another card in that video slot.

I did this once with a 66MHz PCI sata card. I figured I was more interested in 
disk access than video speed on that machine (was used as file sever).
