As a side note, many newer National Instruments products will function in your PCI-X slots -- look for Universal or 3.3V connector in the specifications or 2 notches on the PCI edge connector. You can find more information by searching our KnowledgeBase for the articles 2N2DBOH5 "Will a National Instruments PCI Board Work in a PCI-X Bus?",
2K997NV6 "Will NationaI Instruments PCI Devices Work in 64-bit PCI Slots?", and 28F8MHEC "Can I Use a PCI-GPIB Card in a Computer With 3.3V PCI Slots?". Also, our new "High-Performance Plug-In Serial Interfaces" support memory rather than I/O space, so if your problem is constrained I/O space resources, these should solve the problem. Perhaps this issue will diminish when Microsoft implements "PCI Multi-level Rebalance in Windows Longhorn"
I hope that you find this information helpful. Let us know if you have any further details or questions about this issue.
