Do onboard peripherals ALWAYS share the same PCI Slot?
I have a GA-7NNXP but other are similar, I believe.
I need just 2 PCI slots for add-on high speed audio cards, BUT I can't figure out how to make onboard peripherals that seem to share the PCI Slot interrupts move outta there! My system has the 1Gb LAN, The AGP and two RAID controllers that ALWAYS share whatever interrupt that is assigned (by one of many methods) to a PCI card slot. And I NEED a dedicated interrupt. Anyone understand this? Can I use Advanced BIOS to somehow reassign what PCI slot they share interrupts with?? Understand: I can reassign an interrupt, but the "shadow" peripheral is shown now with THAT interrupt.. Grr.. Is this hard wired?? -- Regards, Terry King ...In The Woods In Vermont The one who Dies With The Most Parts LOSES!! What do you need? |

That will provide you with 16 interrupts, which means no sharing (at least not virtually). /M |
