Hi -

     Just happened to see this and realized that I had no idea that a DVD
decoder card requires it's own irq. I'd assumed it was more along the lines of a
voodoo II and didn't require one. Since I'm in the market for an item like this,
can anyone confirm that it does need it's 'own' irq? Is it at least sharable if
it does? thanks,

         sorry for jumping this bandwagon,

                Mick
