Q: How's the IRQ sharing issue for KV8-MAX3 board?
A: If you want to install two PCI cards into those PCI slots that share IRQ with one another at the same time, you must make sure your OS and PCI devices' driver supports the IRQ sharing function. Manually assigning the IRQs is possible in BIOS "PnP/PCI configuration" submenu.
