Got this SW1000XG card today, but I'm having some issues with it. It makes cool
sounds all right, but Windows is now unusably slow. The 3D Pipes screensaver
runs at about one frame per *three* seconds.
Now I noticed it assigned the graphics card, USB controller, network adapter,
and the SW1000XG all to one IRQ. I'm guessing one of those drivers doesn't
play nice with shared IRQs. But unlike with ISA cards, there doesn't appear to
be any way to change them.
I read about /PCILOCK so I enabled that and assigned separate IRQs in BIOS
setup. It didn't do anything, except move everything from IRQ 7 to 10 (which I
didn't assign to anything).
Apparently the only way to gain manual control, is by disabling ACPI, and then
reinstalling the whole OS in non-ACPI mode? Surely there must be an easier
option?
Or, maybe it's another issue entirely. Any ideas?
