AGP Pro question

Hi:
I was hoping someone here might know whether an agp pro card might be able to utilize two irq's? The reason I ask, is that I recently upgraded to a m/b with an agp pro slot, the manual shows the agp slot sharing irq lines with both pci1 and pci2, separate lines as well, instead of the usual sharing with just pci1.
I also read over at Tom's Hardware about some agp pro cards covering all three slots(agp, pci1, pci2). I have a non-pro agp card and would like to install a bus-mastering card in pci2, if it would not be sharing with the agp card.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any and all replies

AFAIK.. AGP pro is just more voltage(more, the ability to provide it)... which should have zero effect on IRQ's

agp pro 50 cards take up the first pci slot, agp pro 110 cards take up the first and the second, this i guess is for extra cooling or something, i forget

Thanks for your replies. Then why do you suppose the manual for the a7v shows the agp slot sharing two separate irq's? Would it be acceptable to install an SCSI card in pci2 on this board? I already have an sblive! in pci3, and pci4 and 5 share with the on-board usb controllers.
