First, aren't the V10s and V12s double wide cards?  I'm not posititive
about that though.  So few XIO slots would explain why it took so long
for there to be a support DM option though.

Second, so, we could potentially take a fuel, rip out the Vpro card
(resell it on epay), and add a nice dual FC-AL card to it.  Err, now I'm
having trouble coming up with exactly why, since I'm not sure those
cards would be able to saturate the PCI that the fuel has.
