I always checked the IRQ assignment when windows is booting up and never saw any problems. But checking what windows shows in properties it tells me that my SB Live, Radeon, PCI to USB card,NIC and ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering (what the hell is this?) are sharing IRQ 11.
Now after doing my research I thought I had setup my PCI cards in the best possible way. I put the SB Live in slot 3 because that slot isn't supposed to share any IRQs. Or so I thought. My NIC is in slot 2 (which shares IRQs with slot 6).
The Radeon and the USB do share the same IRQ but I can't figure out the others.
Any suggestions on how I can make sure that Windows assigns IRQs properly or do I just have to do the ol switcheroo on my PCIs until I get what I want?
