Matrox G400 & SB Live! share the same IRQ 5. Is this OK?

But wait. What about that USB vs. G400? :P I don't have any USB devices though, but I will later on (i.e. digital camera?).

Bump. So, do I need to worry about USB and G400 sharing the same IRQ 5? Any noticeable conflicts that can happen if I leave them alone? Just a note, I will be getting a GeForce 2/3 card in a few months since G400 is too slow for newer games.

Well, maybe I do have problems. But I don't know if they are related to IRQ? Okay, let's list...

Urban Terror mod for Q3A = fruity colors, corrupted textures, and major corruptions. Screen shots: http://home.apu.edu/~philpi/temp/q3a-ut/ ... You can read the details about this mod on: http://forums.murc.ws//showthread.php?s=&threadid=14116 ... Doesn't any G400er play this mod? However, no lock ups or anything like HL. Even regular Q3A and Team Arena demo multiplayer are perfect without any problems!

What do you think now? IRQ problems or no?

Urban Terror mod still show signs of graphic corruption when the G400 is at IRQ 11. It must be the mod problems.

hehehe ... read again your recent IRQ listing and try to find the answer @ IRQ11 ...

PS: sharing the interrupt with an IRQ Holder for PCI Steering is no problem ...

Maggi, yeah that was an old post before I moved the G400 to IRQ 11 from IRQ 5.

I haven't had a chance to test Half-Life to see if lock ups still occur.
