PCI Interrupt Request Routing
The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q,
are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the
microprocessor. The "AGP/PCI" IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI
bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:
AGP
PCI Slot 1
PCI Slot 2
PCI Slot 3
AGP & PCI Slot 1 shared.
PCI Slot 1~3: Bus Master
