Hi all,

I have the (great!) Abit BH6, revision one.
The 1st PCI slot shares an IRQ with the AGP slot.
The 4th AND 5th PCI slots share an IRQ with thw onboard USB controller.
The problem?

I need to install 3-4 expansion cards, with no IRQ conflicts.
I have quite a few IRQ's available: 3 (I use only one serial port), 5, 9, 10, 11 & 15 (disabled Secondary IDE controller).
Expansion cards: Promise FastTrak 100, Adaptec 2902, Echo Gina (professional) sound card, and maybe a modem (oh, and the vid card).
Now, I have enough IRQ's, but can't seem to be able setting them. The BIOS has setting for PIRQ 1-4.
I want it to llok like this: FastTrak on 15, vid on 11, Adaptec on 10, Sound card on 9. I have these IRQ's available, but can't set it this way, because it always results in an IRQ sharing of the USB controller & whatever card installed at PCI slot 4/5.

Any suggestions?

TIA :D

nope... the only board I know able to get PCI 2~PCI 5 mobo fully independent is Epox 6VBA2. (with disable onboard USB)

Most mobo still share IRQ among PCI 4 and PCI 5 EVEN you disable the onboard USB.

Yeah, I know.
I can't disable the USB though, I need it.
Ahh... such a shame to leave all these IRQ's available... :(
