EPOX 8K7A question

[AZZKICKER]

how is everything shared with the PCI slot

like on some boards slot 4 is shared with RAID controler and slot 5 is shared with USB

how does it share with this board

 

[Tacoman667]

Without raid board makes for more individual unshared slots. Out of the 6 PCI slots, ony 4 share with each other I believe. I haven't had any conflictions whatsoever and I haven't had to change any positions yet.

 

[AZZKICKER]

well is no raid

was wondering what slot shares with AGP and USB

 

[Tacoman667]

Slot 1 shares with AGP and Slot 3, I think, shares the USB.

AZZKICKER I dont supose your playing name is Anx is it? I met a guy at a big lan party kinda looks like you... dont know his real name but his alias was Anx...

 

[AZZKICKER]

nope

What do you mean the slots are shared? Like if a pci slot shares a agp slot, you mean this can cuase confilcts? In what way? Ive never heard of this. Might be very useful in a trubleshooting perspective.

IRQ's are assigned to each PCI slot, if a PCI slot shares an IRQ with another slot and the peripheral installed does not allow IRQ sharing, there are conflicts. SBLive is a HUGE player in that area.
