Hey Rude, I didn't know that about the PCI slot next to the AGP slot . There's nothing in the book that came with my Gateway about that , I know in my old Aptiva that one of the slots shared PCI/ISA but they made that pretty clear in the manual . I have my network card (Linksys) in the PCI slot next to the vid card , but I don't think it's causing any problems , at least not serious ones. If I move the network card to a different PCI slot will I have to reinstall the drivers and stuff for the network card ??? The main reason I ask is when I was cleaning out the inside of the PC a while back I noticed that the vid card has a fan on it , I didn't notice that when I installed the network card or I wouldn't have used that slot .The network card is very close to the vid card so I would like to give the vid card a little more breathing space but not if it's going to really mess up my network stuff which I use for the internet.
