  I never said there were no rules, however I believe the issue is not
IRQs etc, rather keeping the fastest cards nearest the processors and
minimizing 'open' wires (as in slots) and we all know what happens when
there are open connections on a cable where they don't belong! (Cursor
upper right sound familiar?)  BUT, if you follow the rules things work
as close to perfection as possible, and if you don't, cards will fail
not report in or the machine may simply abend when it darn well
pleases.   If you put diesel in your ZR1, it ain't gonna be happy
either!
