Per the docs for the board, it can handle up to four slots via riser 
card.  I would imagine that if one was to replace the single slot card 
with a dual, it would work fine.

Myself, I'm looking at one for a firewall to replace the dodgy VIA 800 
Mhz board I have now.  Just don't know how noisy these things are...
