But what is the question? FIC mainboards of your description have 3 standard
PCI slots. What do you mean by "type of PCI slot" ?

Mark I see this new pci 2.1 slots and others have 2.0 slots.

Unless all the new hardware the support pci 2.1 slots are backwards
Compatible with older slots.

(Their may even be more, that I not aware of.)

Greg - I'm quite sure that all the PCI hardware is backwards compatible with
standards 2.0 and 2.1 I have not heard of any compatibility problems as
there may be with AGP slots and voltage issues with display cards.
