I put it there because that was the only PCI slot I had. I then moved it to a PCI-X slot as far away from the video card as I could, and I no longer get any audible interference.
<br><br>How much interference, depends on placement of the card, placement of other objects in the computer, quality of components and design of the card(How well it protects it signal path), and a few other factors I probably know nothing about;)
