PCI IRQ Actived By

This category is used to set the method by which the PCI bus

recognizes that an IRQ service is being requested by a device. Under

all circumstances, you should retain the default configuration unless a

different setting is needed.

Assign IRQ for VGA

When Enabled, the system automatically assigns an IRQ for the VGA

card installed. Your VGA card will need an IRQ only when using the

video capture function of the card. If you are not using this function

and a new device requires an IRQ, you can set this function to

Disabled. The IRQ (previously occupied by the VGA card) will be

available for your new device.

Note:

When Disabled, a “Yellow” mark will appear in Windows

95/98’s

Device Manager.

PCI Slot 1 Use IRQ and PCI Slot 2 Use IRQ

By default, an IRQ will automatically be assigned to each PCI slot.

You may manually assign an IRQ to these slots by selecting one of

the available options.
