well contrary to what M$ says about IRQ sharing being no problem, and with a few people that obviously are NOT gamers.....Sharing IRQs IS a problem.... My Video card is sharing IRQ16 with my sound card, and 2 USB controllers, and one other dodad i cant remember right now.... When i disable all other things on that IRQ other than my Video card I get more than a 1200 point increase in a popular benchmark (3D Mark 2001se).. Thats a BIG increase in performance....and by simply disabling the other devices... What id like to know is why WinXP assigns ALL of the most demanding hardware onto the same freaking IRQ, when there are several unused IRQs?
