GA-EX58-UD4 BIOS PCI>IRQ function?
« on: February 17, 2011, 01:02:33 pm »
Hello,

Since I can't find that in its manual, maybe some forum Guru or GA-EX58-UD4 can answer.

Short:  Is it possible to assign an IRQ to specific PCI-slot in GA-EX58-UD4 BIOS? In that way I can separate VGA and sound card from sharing same IRQ settings. Would be really nice to know before replacing the current MOBO with this one.

I will really appreciate some answer on this!
Thanks!

Hi

Short answer...no. It seems that most of the newer motherboards don't have this feature any more and it can't even be allocated to the OS for distribution of IRQs either. :-\

I was actually able to get some result by switching sound card to different PCI-slots  ;D  So I'm happy with received result.   

Thanks!

That's a lucky turnout then as it doesn't normally make any difference. ;D
