P4B533-E how to view irq's at POST

Sorry, its an old question but I can't remember how to see the IRQ's at
POST, as XP loads so quick. And trying to search for terms like irq, post
etc is pointless.

Also, does it matter if there are conflicts ? I know the IRQ's you see in
windows can be shared, but what about the one's I hope to see on the
pre-windows screen ?

TIA for any help.


(I'm just trying to cure some stuttering I've been getting with graphics and
sound).

Hit the Pause key on the keyboard, that should keep the screen up until you
hit some other key.

However, those are just the interrupt routings used in PIC mode. if you have
APIC interrupt mode enabled in the BIOS (as you really should, though I
can't remember if that's the default or not), the actual interrupts used in
Windows will be different and can go up to 23. (If you installed Windows in
PIC mode, you might have to reinstall to actually run in APIC mode..)
