SLI M/Board with 2 PCI slots.

I am getting a SLI M/Board with 2 PCI-E and 2 PCI slots. My problem is that I have a Fax Modem, a Sound Card and a Capture Card. Is there a way I can get 3 into 2 ? All 3 cards will not go into PCI-E slots.

It may be that the new mobo will have onboard sound. Is this acceptable, if so you don't need the pci card!

AS Stu has already mentioned, most modern Mobo's come with excellent on board sound and I believe that SLI boards have 7.1 sound.
It would be best to dump your sound card oand use the on board one instead.

There is always the option of dumping the modem card and getting an external unit instead.

Either way is good.

Thank you all for the advice.I will probably leave the sound card out.
