I've just gotten an Epox KTA3 to replace my current board and I want to avoid IRQ hassles. I know that after I disable ACPI I can avoid it trying to jam everything into 2 IRQs. So the video to AGP, the SBLmp3+ to slot 2, and that leaves the ethernet card. I'll be disabling USB2 as well so I will have an extra IRQ, but only if I put the card in a PCI slot not slated for USB1. So which one is it? There are 6 PCI slots and one ISA. Rule out slot 6 by the ISA and that leaves 3,4,&5. Who's got this board in their set up ane working well? What did you do?:confused:
