    I want to put a Decklink SP card in my PCIX G5 2.0 system .I have read that there might be some interference from my ATI Radeon X800 XT AGP card . Does anyone know if this is an issue?

    I have a PCI-X dual 1.8 G5 with the X800 XT and the Decklink SP.
    I have the Decklink SP in slot 4 to keep it far away from the X800 XT.
    Slot 2 holds a LaCie firwire 800 card and slot 3 an M-Audio 5.1 Revolution.
    The presence of the cards in slots 2 and 3 possibly acts as interference shields as well.
    All seem to get along without interference.
    Also, having the Decklink SP on its own bus in the 4th slot also avoids bus contention.
    (slots 2 and 3 share the same bus)
