one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.

If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support
"Shared IRQ" or that the cards don't need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will
arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or
cards inoperable.
