Alright. I can only "reserve vs. available" IRQs 3 through 15 in the BIOS.
The EDS cards are IRQs 16, 17, and 18, with 1 EDS card sharing IRQ 16 with
the video card. I have no idea how to change it, and Paris is still locking
up every so often. I assume the IRQ sharing is the problem?
Thanks for the efforts to help. Lordy, how I wish I had never fried that
first motherboard....

Did someone already suggest this... do you have an EDS card in
PCI slot #1? If so, get it the hell outta there, it will
automatically share the same IRQ as your AGP video card - which
pretty much renders your system useless.
My apologies if that's already been brought up or if you knew it
already.

Neil,
This is precisely what I needed. It's gotta be the answer.
Now, the million dollar question: my new motherboard has on-board video.
My computer guy says it's PCI-express, which makes it better video than my
AGP card. Is this true, and if so, will removing the AGP card free up that
IRQ? That would be awesome.
Thanks to everyone for helping out.

No, the IRQ will be used for a video adapter regardless... and the
on-board video will steal loads of ram. Use the AGP.
