ok im new in win 2000 pro
i used 98 win and i no in win 98 your irq,s are 0 to 15 right?
well my aha scsi 2940u2w card reads in its on bios
id 7 and bios irq is /11 ok
well i go to the hardware device manager
and it reads irq/16
now it doesnt say there is any conflicts
but when i look at what it shares with it has this
pm845g/video card is /irq/16
2940u2w/irq16
i did have another irq 16 to but i got read of it in the mother board bios
it was a usb controler i dont think i need that do i right now?
im not using the usb am i ?
well i thought the best performance i would get is to have everthing or at lest my scsi card on its on irq?
and what is funny is my bios in the 2940u2w says irq/11 and id 7 what is this
i mean win 2000 pro has irq,s that go to 24 or 25 i nee d to no im losing it
can anyone help me with this please moe

do you have performance issues?

If not, don't knock yourself out.

Windows 2000 is different when it comes to PCI steering.

Let 2000 do it's thing. And take a breath.
