    I have a STB Velocity 4400 pci in the first slot, and the SB Live! in
the second slot currently, tho it has occupied other slots. Is there any
reason why I shouldn't move the video card to the second slot and put the
sound card in the first? I may try that, but if there's a performance hit
possibility, it's NOT worth getting this sound card to work...
