A7V, PCI/IRQ layout Suggestions

[dmw16]

I have an Asus A7V motherboard with a nic, a sound blaster live x-gamer, and a GeForce2 GTS. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on which slots the sound card and nic should go in and if I should assign IRQs in the BIOS(and if so, which IRQs) or if I should let windows assign them.
thanks,

If your system is already assembled and working, then just leave the irq's alone. If not, then let your computer automatically assign them by building your computer in stages as AMD recommends in their Complex Configurations and IRQ Information Guide.

Toss the SB Live into PCI slot 3 and tell it to use IRQ5 in the BIOS. Toss the NIC into PCI 4 and it should be fine, but just incase you can always try 2 or 5 with the NIC also.
