  • G550 & G450 Pci

    Hi,

    I have an Abit KR7A-133 (VIA KT266A) with a Matrox G550.

    Matrox G450 PCI
    M-Audio Audiopile 24/96 PCI
    NetGear FA311
    Abit Hotrod 100 Raid (HPT370) Controller
    ATI TV Wonder PCI (BT878A)

    I was just wondering what PCI slots each device goes should go in to for best performance.
    Does the G450 mind sharing IRQ with other things?
    I read somewhere that it is a bad idea for things to share IRQs with the Network card.

    Just wanted to know what other peoples experiance with this board and a G450+G550 Combo

    No graphic card shouldn't share an IRQ if it's a busmaster device. Placed on a IRQ 9 or above is best, but not absolutely neccesary for optimum proformance.

    There is an incompatability with the G450pci and non Intel chipsets as noted on Matrox's website.
