Try again!

The three Matrox equipped motherboards I mentioned earlier ALL share IRQs with 
other PCI/AGP devices.  In fact, on one of them there is no way to prevent it.

I bought the other two because of a need to get the SCSI controller on its'
own IRQ, but the Matrox cards (1x Millenium, 2x G-200) still share IRQs. And
all three of them perform superbly, two of them with Matrox drivers. None of
them use the BETA 2.30 release OR the official 2.30 release.
