I am upgrading components in my PB6 system, and I'd like someone to recap 
the PCI slot puzzle solutions and recommendations.

I currently have 3 bussmaster PCI cards installed: SB16 PCI in slot 1, 
Adaptec 2906 SCSI in slot 2, and an SMC 1122 (for a cable modem) in slot 
4.  I have an old ISA video card, and an ISA phone modem that I recently 
pulled out (it uses the physical space that a slot 5 PCI card would need).

Slots 4 and 5 can only have one bussmaster card between them.  Slot 3 
shares an interupt with the HPT 366 disk controller.  I'm not using the HPT 
yet, but I will be. I'm guessing that the only thing that should use slot 3 
is a better disk controller instead of using the HPT.  I think slot 1 
shares an interupt or something with the AGP slot.  After I install an AGP 
video card, what should go in slot 1?  Which cards should I have in which 
slots for best reliable performance?

What if I want to add another bussmaster card?  Presumably network card 
should be replaced with a non bussmastering card, or the sound card should 
be replaced by an ISA card.  What would be the best choice?
