New System and IRQ's

[Ram0]

I just built a XP 1800+, EpoX 8kha+, Geforce 3 ti200, Sb Live, and 3com NIC. After installing 98 without a hitch, i installed all the drivers and stuff but i noticed that ALL my PCI devices as well as my Geforce 3 are sharing IRQ11. Is there a setting that messed up in the bios, or during the 4 in 1 installation?

As long as ur system is running fine dont worry about it.... It's just Windows

usually the bios allocates the irq's. but that's really odd, you have 2 free irq's. check with the mobo manufacturer, they might have better answers.

Check the AnandTech Faqs.

Why are all my devices using one IRQ in Win2K or WinXP?

lol, he's using win98 though!
I assume that you installed all your hardware then loaded the OS. this wouldn't have happen if you added 1 hardware device at a time with a reboot in between. the alternative is to force slots to use a particular irq in bios!
