MovieMaker Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I have a: 450 TNT2 Soundblaster live 1024 256 RAM My computer runs slower than my brothers: 400 TNT Onboard Sound 64 Ram The only thing that I can say that could cause any sort of slow down is that my Graphics and sound are both on TRQ 11...And neither want to change....I've run Win 98, Win 98 SE and Windows Me...and don't know why they both put themselves on the same IRQ on every O/S....If you know any program that you can manually select IRQs with or just a way to change IRQs in Windows Me (my current O/S) Then please reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted September 7, 2001 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2001 Sometimes you can change the irq in the bios (and reset the bios configuration) or Have you tried switching slots. IRQs of PCI card change when you put them in a different slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglebtc Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 you should also look for a setting in your BIOS that deals with Plug-n-Play. If the answer is Yes and you're having problems, try switching it to NO. This will force the computer to setup and assign IRQs for your pnp devices. - brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aco Veteran Posted September 7, 2001 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2001 Generally the AGP slot and the PCI slot next to it will share the same IRQ. I don't know if this will help you but, if anyone else has alot of free PCI slots it would be best not to use the one next to the AGP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
