A couple of empty ISA ports won't really do any harm, unless you need to plug in heaps of PCI cards. Whatever you do, your CPU chipset will still have ISA support enabled, so there is no real preformance benefit from not having ISA slots. <SNIP> OK correct me if i'm wrong, but... I understood that disabling or not having ISA slots speeds up the accessing of the southbridge/northbridge chips to the rest of hte peripherals. IE, they don't have to wait for the ISA timings (which are significantly slower) to catch up to the PCI ones. Is my info correct or not ? Thx Femme
