7NNXP PCI Slots:Can't run audio cards??

I need some education, I think.

7NNXP has 5 PCI slots. I need to use any 2 for
high-end audio recording cards (M-audio 1010LT).
I do not need any other PCI cards.
BUT: The many onboard peripherals share these slots,
and I can't get any unshared IRQ's on even 2 PCI slots!

What am I missing? I can reassign IRQ's used by each
slot, but how the heck can I move an onboard peripheral
like network or USB to some OTHER available IRQ??

I could run either ACPI mode or 'Standard PC' (current
setup) with WinXP. I found the "AltF1 that gives
me more IRQ reassignments.

But how the heck can I get 1 or 2 PCI slots with no other
devices sharing interrupts??

THANKS! I've spend days and GooGleTime on this...

The one who Dies With The Most Parts LOSES!! What do you need?

What OS are you running. If you are running windows you should not have any
problems with shared IRQs. I have a couple of IRQs with 4 devices and also a
couple with 2 devices, and everything works fine. Even at the same time.
Have you actually tried the devices.
I'm running a dual boot system, 98SE and XP, and everything works fine in
both OSs. I didn't have to set-up anything special, just install them.

I am running XP Pro but have dual boot, to 98SE also.

M-Audio strongly recommends that no interrupts be shared with the 1010LT
cards, which are moving a LOT of data when playing 8 channels of audio at
24 bits and 96 KHz sample rate.

I had a card sharing an interrupt with the network controller; every time
I did a network action the audio got clips and pops.

Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated! I'm about 2 days
away from a recording session live at a local club!

The Intel Gigabit (running at 100). I have heard the
RealTek has been a problem for some on this MB.
But REAL problem is how to 'move' any of these
'sharing' onboard peripherals off a PCI slot or two...

Anybody really used the "Advanced BIOS" for interrupt
reassignment or slot assignment?? ANy pointers to information.
The manual says nothing except "press ctrlF1 ".
