In looking at my device manager I have my AGP card listed on IRQ 11 along
with two instances of "IRQ Holder for PCI Steering". What ever that is.
There are five listings of "IRQ holders for PCI" steering on total. Anyone
care to explain what they are and what that means?
Thanks

Does AGP video card also take up one IRQ?

Thanks,
