Raid card and windows stuttering

[Keego]

Hey I was having very strange problems in win2k, I had a winmodem (ick!) and an iwill ata/66 raid card (not in raid, just some hdd's plugged into it)
whenever the winmodem was dialed in, the hdd and windows performance in general was horrendus (even a bsod at one point)
Took out the card and now windows loves me again.. What's up with this, an irq conflict, or the raid card was whining because it wasn't designed not to be a regular udma card?

Go to start - programs - accessories - system tools - system information.

CLick on hardware resources, and then on IRQ's.

Post here what ya see.
