Since the 820 chipset doesn't support ISA slots, the P3C-E includes a PCI-to-ISA bridge. While legacy support is always nice due to the high-end nature of the 820 chipset we're a bit unsure how many 820 users still own ISA cards, much less would use them in their brand new 820 system. We quickly disabled the ISA Bridge in BIOS, and think you probably will too.
