Difference between Everest and SIW

[ks]

I used the following hardware information softwares
Everest ( available at http://www.lavalys.com/) and System Information
for Windows ( available at http://www3.sympatico.ca/gtopala/ ) in the
same
machine.
Everest says 4 PCI , 2 ISA and 1 AGP slots exist in the motherboard.
SIW says 5 PCI , 2 ISA and 1 AGP slots exist .

When I refered the motherboard manual , the information given by
Everest only is correct.

Does any body know why SIW shows one PCI slot extra ? Or is it that SIW
cannot properly identify the motherboard ?

Thanks.

On my motherboard EVEREST shows one less....

I guess the only way to be sure is to open up the box or read the manual

They are in agreement on my machine.

Isn't it so that these programs rely on a database? So if the database is
wrong that should appear in the report.
