This machine is used for everyything (Work, games, ...). I think this configuration is a typical one: IRQ 3 - COM2 - modem IRQ 4 - COM1 - mouse or something else IRQ 5 - Soundblaster IRQ 7 - LPT1: - printer IRQ 9 - Teles 16 Bit ISDN card IRQ 10 - Network Card <- cheapo 10 MBit ISA IRQ 11 - free for PCI IRQ 12 - PS/2 mouse IRQ 14 - free for PCI IRQ 15 - IDE crap -- Andreas Klemm | klemm.gtn.com - powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/benches.html
