Why is everything using the IRQ9 ???
i read some posts about people having problems with IRQ im getting a new video card eVGA fx5900 se will it affect it?
how do i change IRQs??

[John Prophet]

that looks like its doing the ole' "irq sharing" thing...I wouldnt worry about it unless its giving you troubles.

But some Bioses do have a setting for "assign IRQ to VGA"...if you want the vga card to have its own irq.

Also you could make sure extra stuff like parallel and serial ports are off to have as many free irq's as possible.

there is no assign IRQ to VGA in bios, is there another name for it?
i tried to change IRQ throught the device manager but the tab is unaccesible, any other ways i can change it?

Everything there is normal, fine as it is, no need to change.
