I still have use for PCI graphics: I needed to refit two PCs with dual |
| 17 |
port PCIe ethernet adapters. These only come with 4x PCie and many |
| 18 |
boards only have 1x PCIe slots (aside of their PEG port). So I used an |
| 19 |
old PCI graphics card and put the network adapter in the PEG slot. |

With one board (cheap MSI) it worked; the other one (expensive Intel) |
| 22 |
didn't work because the chipset apparently detected the network adapter |
| 23 |
as a graphics adapter even though PCI had higher priority in the BIOS |
| 24 |
settings. |
