Hi, this may appear to be a daft question, but, here goes:
Both my internal modem and onboard soundcard use IRQ 9. Is this good? or is it bad? Windows says there's no conflicts, cos they're not on the same IO range or whatever, but I've noticed that I get disconnected from the net more often when I use winamp than when I don't. Is it cos my soundcard is conflicting with my modem somehow, or just that I've got a crappy connection?

Windows 95 osr2 and above (98,me,2k) have a feature called "IRQ holder for pci steering". In basic terms windows is creating a device that breaks the irq into however many subirqs are required. Its a software solution to the hardware limitation of x86 machines.

If you don't like your devices sharing IRQs, don't install Win2K with ACPI enabled.

Everything = IRQ 11.

If you have an Intel chipset, you may be lucky enough to have Win2K use your processor's APIC instead of the (old) 8059 compatible PIC.

255 IRQs! Woo hoo hoo!

No Intel... I've got a Gigabyte 7ZXR with an Athlone 1GHz processor, and 384MB of RAM. I just thought I'd brag about that. You'd think that with a kick-ass system like that, I'd actually know better. I'm gonna try changing the IRQ settings for my sound-card (duh, why didn't I try that to start with?) and see if that helps any. I still think it's my crappy internet connection tho

By that I guess you mean when I referred to my crappy connection... thankfully, there's no AOL in South Africa
