Hi i use the Win98SE 0S and i checked the IRQ's and my video card is using IRQ 12 and it also says that "ACPI IRQ holder for PCI IRQ Steering " is in the same IRQ 12 but is the "ACPI IRQ Holder " who hawe the " interrupt request 12" and for the videocard is the "Memory Range 000A0000 000AFFFF" and i think that for this Sisi Sandra can't detect the IRQ for my videocard.
In Sisi Sandra the only thing what i hawe in IRQ 12 is the "ACPI IRQ holder for PCI IRQ Steering "
Do I want this or not ? I also noticed in "Device Manager/System Devices/PCI Bus", it says "IRQ steering enabled". Do I want it disabled, and if so , why ?
Thanx for your time and help :)

Um, thats normal; IRQ steering is kinda a placeholder for devices. If your system isn't crashing, there isn't a problem. Sisoft doesn't show which IRQ any of my vid cards are using, so I think thats normal as well. If you are really worried about it, you can always manually set the IRQ for your devices in the BIOS.
