| |
On a number of motherboards (mine included) the bottom two PCI slots share an IRQ. If this is true you will need to physically move one of the cards to another slot.
I had this problem with a sounblaster16 PCI and my adaptec scsi card. I'd recommend leaving all the pnp stuff in the bios on unless you're sure it's a problem. It's more convenient if you're dual booting, as most do, after all what better hardware tester is than windoze ;)
