Help! Win2K and Asus CUSL2 / IRQ issues

Ok, if someone can help me out here, I would appreciate it.

I have a Asus CUSL2/Intel815E chipset motherboard. I was running Win 98SE and everything was fine.

I installed Win 2000 Professional and it screwed up my IRQs. I have a GeForce3 in the AGP slot. I have a Linksys networking card and SBLive! insatalled in the PCI slots. No matter what slots I put the PCI cards in and no matter what BIOS changes I make concerning IRQ assignment to the PCI slots, everytime, Win 2000 puts all three of them (video, network and sound card) on the same IRQ! (IRQ 9).

The GEForce and the Sound Blaster should be on their own seperate IRQs. There are empty IRQs, but I just can't get it to change this assignment.

When I was running under Win 98SE, the GeForce was on IRQ11 all by itself and the Sound Blaster was on 5, I think, all by iteself.

Under Win 2000 with this whacky setup, I am getting some weird graphic glitches and programs that use the 3D capability are crashing fast, like right away.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am having pretty much the same problem with my PIII-733 and Abit BE6-II v.1.2. and Radeon when I installed W2K.
(see my earlier posting)

Here's what I have found out so far:
It is perfectly normal for W2K to share interrupts like that and your system should run fine that way.
My Dell PIII-933 system here at work has 6 different devices on IRQ9 and runs fine on W2K.

If you disable ACPI in your bios, you can then manipulate your IRQ's with bios settings.
(you will have to re-load W2k if you do this and will lose the capability to control power features)
I tried this and was indeed able to give components separate IRQ's, but my problem with jittery sound, mouse jumping and momentary hesitations in video did not go away.

Question:
Are you running a network card with a cable modem and do you have the Microsoft network client loaded on W2K?
Did you have file sharing turned on when you were running W98SE?
