I dont think you should be using more than 2 of these? I'd be pleased
to hear from others using more than 2?
Check out the number of interrupts they generate:-


[root at rt root]# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:  513945316          XT-PIC  timer
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  3:    7493144          XT-PIC  eth1
  7:  513038564          XT-PIC  wcfxo
  8:          1          XT-PIC  rtc
  9:          0          XT-PIC  acpi
 10:   23600597          XT-PIC  eth0
 11:  513008566          XT-PIC  wcfxo
 14:    6166621          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:        482          XT-PIC  ide1
NMI:          0
ERR:          0

Look for the wcfxo's.
