You're sure about the IO board being independent?  

On the "classic" NPEs, the IO board shares a PCI bus with PA slots 1+3+5.

If this is true, it would be good news (we have a NPE-G1 with an IO
board with 2FE on it...).

[Yes, I know that the box will not run all of it on wire-speed - it
doesn't need to, but I do not want to unneccessarily oversubscribe the 
buses either]

regards,
