Sharing IRQs

[Mambo]

Hi there,

today I bought a new mainboard (MSI KT4V with 6 PCI) to get each of my three pvr 250 on its own IRQ. But again, I failed.
Have look at my screen cap please.
Two encodercards share IRQs with the agp-vga-adapter and my WLAN-Dlink-Ethernetadapter.

But the system seems to be running stable.

Do you think I can leave it that way or will I end up with problems?

Thanks for your help.

I doubt it's a problem, but all you probably have to do is swap around the pci slots.

Your MB manual should show which slots share an IRQ with other slots or on board peripherals.

Unless of course he is using ACPI under WinXP - then (depending on the BIOS of the motherobard, and what WinXP detects) it will INTENTIONALLY share IRQs no matter what slots they are in.

Always worked perfectly for me though, so I don't worry about it.
