Forcing IRQs

People talk about this, but exactly how do you do it? I'm using XP pro.

with asus or abit motherboards you can use a setting in the BIOS setup screen. usually it is on a sub page called "pci configuration" or something like that

there will be a setting for each slot, either "auto" which is default or any free IRQ that it finds will be on a pick menu.

keep in mind that if a slot is shared with a motherboard resource such as PCI, it will also change the IRQ of the shared item as well.

Hhmmmm,
All I get in BIOS setup is 'PCI device' or 'reserved'. I can't seem to see my corresponding PCI slots and cards to be able to move anything.
Any thoughts?

I just wondered if I have to disable IRQ steering in the standard PC properties window???
