arounds. Many mobo's have an unavoidable relationship between the<br>onboard devices IRQ's and a particular slot, could be any slot, you'll have<br>to move things around to find out which. The frustarting part of this is some
<br>IRQ's always go unused, no matter what you do, leaving you less to work with.<br><br>I don't know whether ivtv or cx88 cards mind if they share IRQ's or not, or if<br>there are other devices that don't mind. If someone else has experience with
<br>this, let us know.</blockquote><div><br> </div><br></div>DS<br>
