Assigning seperate AGP IRQ = Lower 3DMARK

[rUfUnKy]

I disabled ACPI to assign a seperate IRQ (IRQ 10) for my AGP and ended up with a drop in my 3Dmark 2001...:confused: before --> http://gamershq.madonion.com/compare2k1.shtml?2338236

In my experience, WinXP seems to perform a bit better with ACPI enabled in most situations, but 40 points is really nothing to worry about anyhow. I bet if you run 3dm2k1 3 times in succession you'll deviate about that much anyhow.

Ya I know, it's really not that many points but beleive it or not I was getting a steady 4943 every time with a fresh reboot so I know changeing the IRQ had a adverse affect....just seems odd I'm trying to figure out how to change the IRQ to 11 (The default) to see if that helps...
