I've got 8 devices on one IRQ, and my system is not unstable in any way. I leave it running for weeks at a time without restarting, and I never shut it off.
As you can see: http://www.thesillyzone.com/device.gif my video card and TV card are on the same IRQ. However, I can play HL in a window with the TV in a window on top of HL, WHILE USING my network cards for networking, WHILE USING my sound card for sound, WHILE USING the Maxtor card to control my hard drives. Wow! 5 devices in use at the same time, all on the same IRQ, with uber-stableness. IRQ's arent the issue here. -av Deepak Manglani wrote: > Any tips as to how to disable ACPI? > discovered I've got 5 devices on the same IRQ > > thanx, > dpac. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Roachfood - the-coming.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 7:19 AM > Subject: [hlcoders] OT - Pertains to coding in a way :\ > > > Sorry about the off topic but I found something out about my system > tonight > > that really pisses me off.
