Some motherboards allow you to assign specific IRQs to you PCI slots. Just
check in Windows so as to see which IRQs are assigned to "what devices". If
you do not use the standard serial, and parallel, ports, you should disable
them (so as to reclain 3 IRQs: 3, 4 and 7) and re-use these IRQs on your PCI
slots.
