PCIe -> PCI bridge shopping advice

[Ruben Schade <newsgroups%rubenschade.com@localhost>]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a PCIe to PCI bridge adapter, to let me connect PCI 
devices to my amd64 PCIe system (classic sound cards, mostly). I've 
looked up ppb(4), which references this under the BRIDGES section, but 
it doesn't get more specific:

> Generic PCI bridges, including expansion backplanes.

Anyone have any real world tips/advice on which such bridge device I 
should buy, what to avoid? Or am I overthinking it?

Most of the bridges I'm seeing are based around a ASMedia ASM1083 
controller.

Thanks :)
Ruben
