Re: Burt, "new PIII...new loaded computers have all the IRQs committed. Is that a problem. But there must be some real limit to the number of devices you can add. I want to add a peer to peer network card, perhaps a cable modem and Intel's create and share camera for inexpensive teleconferencing. Creat and share comes in a USB package so that's no problem but the other two are. Thanks in advance for any info on whether I should be worried about buying a new computer with all the IRQs accounted for." Burt

Am looking for something similar (camera, ADSL card, vdc, network card, speakers/mic, TV plug-in, USB, scanner, printer, PC-fax, etc.) Please let me know what you discover.
Thanks, Amy J

Burt - Re: " . I noticed in an article on the new PIII computers that a lot of the new loaded computers have all the IRQs committed. Is that a problem. "

The only way for them to be completely committed (I think there are 15 pr 16 total possible interrupts) is to have 15 or 16 devices stuffed into the PC.

And that sounds like MUCH TOO MANY for a store-bought machine.
