IRQ Holder's are your friend. I don't know the exact function of them, but I know basically what they do. For a PCI device to use a system resource they have to go through a IRQ Holder. It is part of the motherboard I/O and distributes data inbetween devices using that IRQ...I think. This is done so multiple PCI cards can use the same PCI slot, without killing your system. I have not studied into them much, so I may not be 100% accurate.

The configuration on your computer should work just fine. Are you having troubles with it? To me, at least, it looks like everything is in place. Hope this helped a bit.

I don´t have real trouble but to me my frame rates seem to be very low. example: re-volt
1024x768 only 30-40 fps. on my friends system
they are at least 60 and higher (with a celeron 500 and a V3 2000).
