Quite true - if we talk about the board with the slots. I thought
Craig was talking about a card which will be plugged in a PCI slot,
where decoupling unused power pins does not make much sense because
the bus will not be decoupled if the card is out of its slot.
 I guess I just have misunderstood the term 'board'.
