Sorry to keep starting new threads on this topic. My internet access was down
for a while there.
Following the advice of several folks here, in an attempt to get each PCI
slot its own IRQ, I have some data and a question.
I have PnP O/S disabled. I found the following info, in two sections,in my
BIOS:
1. a list of these IRQs, with the choice of "PCI device" or "reserved for
legacy ISA devices": 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,14,15.
2. PCI slot 1/5 IRQ preference
PCI slot 2 IRQ preference
PCI slot 3 IRQ preference, all with the choice of "Auto" or the option
to assign an IRQ #.
What next?

You have three cards right? Do you have three slots that don't share IRQs
with other devices? If you do have a slot that shares with something like
a sound card you can turn off that device in the bios. Then set bios to
legacy devices and put a different IRQ on each on of your EDS card slots.

I'm a little confused here.
I should choose, say, IRQs 3, 5 and 7 and assign them to "legacy device" in
the 1st section, then assign my PCI slots to those IRQs in the 2nd section?

Yes, as long as the slots don't share IRQs.

Is there an easy way to figure out if they do? I'm a little fuzzy here.
Thanks for the continued efforts.
