The problem is NOT sharing IRQ's. My TNT2 Ultra used to share IRQ's with my
SBLive!Value, and it didn't cause any problems. However, I recieved slighty
(very slightly) better performance once I got it its own IRQ. I don't know
how to do this in BIOS or windows, but all I did was switch all of my PCI
cards down one slot, so the slot right next to the AGP is empty (since they
share IRQ's).
