Magma is pretty well established. I have seen thier products in action and seem to work well. It seems that you may face the common run-of-the-mill issues when adding hardware like this. Software compatibility, performance issues, strange ticks, pops and clicks. Who knows, nothing is ever easy. Even installing RAM has its woes.
Switch to a FireWire alternative maybe to free up some slots.
