It might say "multimedia device" or something like that. There's no routine, you can put as many eds cards in as long as EVERY slot you put them in is not shared with other devices. If the slot is shared with stuff like onboard audio, usb etc turn them off in the bios to free the slot from IRQ conflicts if you will be using that slot. If you can see irq info on bootup you can try each slot and see what comes up as shared. Also, run msinfo32.exe from Start / Run and see what IRQs are doing what under Hardware. It's all about the god damn irqs !!!
