Ok so what if some thiings are sharing IRQ's with other things? IRQ16: NVIDIA GFORCE4 MX 420 IRQ16: Digidesign DIGI 001 IRQ 18: OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 Host controller IRQ 18: Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI fast Ethernet NIC IRQ 21: Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal host Controller IRQ 21: Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal host controller What should I do???

SHARING INTERRUPTS IS NORMAL. There might be cases where some drivers have trouble being used on a shared interrupt, but it's actually rare with recent drivers. Again - SHARING INTERRUPTS IS NORMAL. Nothing wrong with it at all, and there's no significant performance cost. Lots of the stuff about sharing IRQ's is OLD MYTH, surviving from a time where the driver writers and the OS weren't handling shared interrupts correctly. Let the battle begin (I think some people may disagree here)

you talkin to me?

Not specifically, but lots of people appear to be under the misconception that shared interrupts are inherently a problem. They're not. Sharing interrupts was an error on old ISA systems, but sharing interrupts is fully supported and reliable on PCI, assuming the drivers are written correctly. Of course, DIGI's 001 driver might not be written correctly. I use an 002, so I don't have direct experience with the 001.

My digi 001 shares IRQ17 w/real tek RTL8139/810x family fast ethernet NIC. How whould i go about getting 001 on its own IRQ? or is this something not to worry about?

Well how the heck am I supposed to change the IRQ if my digi is sharing with NVIDIA???

How do i get to my IRQ list 

I cant find it in bios anywhere. Am i looking the right spot? I have a sony vio pc, with windows xp home. I have 3 slots on my pc and i have digi in the middle. I would like to find out if i am shareing IRQ's with anything else. Thanks.

Right click on the my computer icon, go to properties, go into device manager and then show properties by resource. This should do it if memory serves me. Its been awhile, I switched to a Mac. Hope this helps.
